I had to revive a laptop that got the package management stuck because of that (update process aborted, package management state in need of manual rescue). I cannot believe that ubuntu has no simple option to clean up old kernels. I had to dig out some shell scripting with apt / dpkg. Even without a /boot of limited size (because of full-disk encryption, for example), this is a serious omission which bloats installations over time. I'm all for not removing old kernels without user's consent, but I'd expect ubuntu to give the average user (the ones who this distro is designed for) a way to clean that up. This is not ubuntu-studio specific, but since it came up, I had to vent a bit. Old kernels and their modules occupy quite some space. Mind, I'm not necessarily talking about upgrades to new distro release. Each little kernel update litters the hard disk. Did ubuntu folks really miss that? Alrighty then, Thomas
