Problem: Just tried my 1st sudo do-release-upgrade -d to upgrade from Ubuntu Gnome 14.04-1 to 14.10 but getting an error message that confuses me.My hard drive is 1TB and I have a good 700GB left so can’t be that.

Log in the terminal:

Not enough free disk space

The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 63.1 M free
space on disk ‘/boot’. Please free at least an additional 22.0 M of
disk space on ‘/boot’. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages
of former installations using ‘sudo apt-get clean’.

Solution: Do what the system is telling you, try to run Sudo apt-get clean command and then re-install, if it fails again, you might need to partition another portion of your Hard-drive and see if it can install it in that partition.
