[SOLVED] Install kernel update error

After clicking on Xubuntu yellow update icon I am prompted to install update Kernel 2.6.-19 generic. I proceed with the install and receive this error message during the install

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic_2.6.24-19.36_i386.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic' before installing new version

Is the problem on my end or the server end?

Consider this thread resolved. __________________ Free Linux Books Linux Registered User # 475019 And I’ll keep using Linux until they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
