My /boot partition hit 100% and now I can't upgrade. Can't remove old kernels to make room

I've built a LAMP server a while ago to be a Moodle server for a school.
I'm trying to update the Moodle and add Ghostscript and am getting out of space warnings. I new to the world of ubuntu and installed pretty much all of it with defaults. My /dev/sda1 dir is only 256M and 100% used. If I recall, this is a 2TB drive. How do I enlarge these spaces so I can keep updating this machine?
Let me know what I did wrong and how to fix it.

Tried to do the terminal text thing, but couldn't figure out how to do it while in forum on windows machine and RDP'd into mubuntu.

Sorry, trying to figure out this forum. Not sure how to clarify/respond to these answers. Hope this is right.... or am I supposed to 'Answer' my own question?

Yes, my /boot is full. That's the problem I identified. Trying to learn what is wrong and how to fix. Poked around and found that I have 7 20MB initrd.img files. That looks like a possible problem. Am I on the right track?

yes, it's one of the more annoying 'features' of Ubutnu. You have to manually purge old kernels. See the link posted above.
