Good morning,
While doing my weekly "dnf upgrade" a little while ago, I got the following
pop-up at the top of the screen"
------
Low Disk Space on"boot"
The volume "boot" has only 20.9 MB disk space remaining.
Examine Ignore

Seeing that a new kernel needs...
over 74,000,000 (initrams*)
over 14,700,000 (vmlinuz*)
over 8,800,000 (System.map*)
over 200,000 (config*)
=============================
over 97,700,000 total,
I suspect that the next time I do weekly patches (next Thursday), it will fail.
I'm only keeping 2 old kernels now. I did not do anything to shrink /boot. What has
grown so much recently? What do I delete?
Here's what's in /boot:

Thank-you in advance.
With the removal of the oldest kernel and the space recovered by doing that,
and with the changing the dnf configuration file so only one old kernel is kept in the
future,
I should have enough space for weekly patches for a while.
(well, until the kernel grows too much more)
I gonna go ahead and consider this issue SOLVED.
I thank everyone who tried to help.
