I love Zorin OS, but the last few times I have tried to do updates, I get this message that says I need to free up disk space on '/boot'. How do I do that?,and please explain in newbie terms so that I can understand. Thanks.

Hi, We need some screenshots of your hard drive partitions to see what is wrong.

Launch GParted (you will be asked for your login password), then once it has launched, go to Menu | Accessories | Screenshot and then after saving the picture, double-click on it to open in image viewer and change the extension to .jpg then upload the .jpg as per this video tutorial:
