Hi
I am compiling a 2.6.16 and have /boot full of files from kernels I am trying-and-erroring. how do I reomve kernels I just installed.
This will list the kernels currently installed:
$> dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ^ii
The second column will list the package names of the corresponding
kernels. Just use apt-get to remove the ones you don't want. For
example, I get the following list of installed kernels:
$> dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ^ii
ii linux-image-2.6-486 2.6.16+0.2 Linux kernel 2.6
image on 486-class machines
ii linux-image-2.6.15-1-486 2.6.15-8 Linux kernel
2.6.15 image on 486-class machi
ii linux-image-2.6.16-2-486 2.6.16-18 Linux kernel
2.6.16 image on 486-class machi
ii linux-image-2.6.16-2-686 2.6.16-18 Linux kernel
2.6.16 image on PPro/Celeron/PI
So if I didn't want linux-image-2.6.15-1-486, I would do (as root):
#> apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.15-1-486
