I would be more than happy to help you at our next LUG meeting if you
haven't gotten help by then.
/boot is usually just used for booting. The warning probably isn't anything
to be worried about, as the usage may have only increased due to updates.
It's generally kept at a small partition size, because the boot loader
doesn't need much space.
