I think the Janitor can uninstall them for you...

However CJ also has a tendency to mark for removal dpkg installed packages and others that it has no business doing - and so I don't trust it. So here is what I recommend: 1. Open a terminal and issue the following commands (note the $ is the command prompt so you don't enter that bit): $ sudo update-grub That will produce an output similar to: $ sudo update-grub [sudo] password for <user>: Generating grub.cfg ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-27-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-27-generic Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-26-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-26-generic As you can see from the above, I keep 2 kernels available; the primary -28, and the previous -27. I do this because I may have issues with the latest -28 and keep the -27 to fall back on. Other than that, I see no reason to keep any older kernels (unless I am on a test system). In your case you'll most likely find many more than -28 and -27, so simply copy the kernel number (2.6.35-x) and open Synaptic: 'System|Administration|Synaptic...' and enter the kernel in the search box: 2.6.35- (and/or 2.6.32- if you've upgraded from lucid 10.04) find the ones that are not the two most recent & click the 'S' column header to sort by the one's installed. The ones installed will show with Green boxes in the 'S' Column; select all but the most recent & the last by right-clicking and select 'Mark for Complete Removal', then click 'Apply'. That will remove all but the latest two kernels. Synaptic _should_ take care of your grub menu configuration, but just to be sure I recommend opening a terminal again (Applications|Accessories|Terminal) and issuing: $ sudo update-grub You should now only see the two kernels like the output of my example. Let us know if you have any further questions. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Problem solved. Thank you very much!

You can always use 'Ubuntu Tweak' not in repo's (as far as i know!) but is on launchpad ppa > /ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu I've found it great for things like that as well as tweaking Ubuntu graphically Regards Pete -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
