In /boot/grub there is a text file 'grub.cfg.' Open it with a text editor and it will show you all the kernel images that are currently available to boot to. If the computer will still boot, an easier solution is to hit Esc as it is booting. This will give you the grub boot menu where you will see all the kernels available. I'd leave at least the two latest ones. Once you know which kernels are installed you can use Synaptic to remove the ones you no longer need. >There are some files on this machine that I'd like to save. >If I totally bonk things I do have a laptop running 17.3 that >I can use. If the computer will still boot, just copy them off onto a USB stick or burn them to a DVD. If the computer will not boot, then use a live DVD for Mint or Ubuntu or a rescue CD. Once booted to the operating system on the live media you can mount the existing partitions, then copy files off as desired. If none of this helps, bring it to the Clinic next Sunday. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
