Since Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) was first released to the present there has
been quite a few Kernel upgrades.
Just thought it may help some of our Ubuntu users, if I explain how to
remove the old redundant Kernels which can save up to 3 GB of system
disk space.
Uses Alt>F2 and type in 'sudo nautilus' for root access [now be care
full as you are in permanent root]
The latest Kernel release is currently 2.6.27-14
1) Goto the root boot folder, open and delete all the Kernel releases
EXCEPT the 2.6.27-14 items.
2) Goto /lib/modules and again delete all the Kernel releases EXCEPT
the 2.6.27-14 items.
3) Goto /usr/src/ again delete all the Kernel releases EXCEPT the
2.6.27-14 items.
Note: the deleted items will not appear in the Desktop Trash bin they
are in another trash bin in root.
To locate: Goto /root/.local/share/trash they are in two
folders named 'files' and 'info' where they can be deleted. [DO NOT
delete the 'files' and 'info' folders]
4) Close Nautilus.
Tip: I use GNOME Commander it makes life easer. It can be downloaded
from Applications>Add/remove
Have fun 8-)
