I'm less worried about deleting the kernels themselves and associated stuff in /boot as I am the other crap that came along with them. Looking just now, I see linux-headers extending back to 2.6.31-21, for instance. stuff >10 years old. Trying to think of other stuff kernels bring in with them, not so much out of fear it'll do any harm but because it's messy and takes up space. I wish there were a utility -- I understand why there can't really be one -- that would go over a system and identify everything that is no use to anyone anymore and never will be. I think if I looked carefully in ~/ I could find some backed-up config files from KDE-2.x. But invariably when I go on a cleaning rampage I end up deleting one thing more than I should have . . . -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
