All good advice here.
You can remove the old kernels if it booted correctly and
all your
hardware works as expected with the current one, you get
back ~50MB per
kernel on Debian boxes.
<snipped excellent advice from Simon and bad apple>
I found this webpage:
http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/__remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-__with-one-command/
<http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-with-one-command/>
There's a great breakdown of the process he follows and eventually
comes up with this single line:
dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2}' | grep -v -e `uname -r |
cut -f1,2 -d"-"` | grep -e [0-9] | grep -E "(image|headers)" | xargs
sudo apt-get -y purge
I did the test line he suggested which looked OK and didn't include
my current kernel, so I ran the live one above. Obviously I didn't
kill anything as I am typing this email and I seem to have shed over
3Gb as / is now 6.4 Gb not the 9.8Gb it reported previously. I
think that's problem solved.
BTW the reason I keep /home on a separate partition is that I want
to keep all my customisations and user files (e.g. mail) if I have
to reinstall for any reason. Reinstalling and simply pointing /home
to the same partition without overwriting saves a lot of grief, even
though I do back it all up weekly.
Thanks for all the advice!
Julian
