If you've been using your system for months/years, and updating
during that time, you accumulate a lot of old kernels that are no
longer needed and take up significant space. <br>
<br>
Try (in Synaptic Package Manager) searching for "linux-image", and
within those displayed that are indicated to be installed, delete
all but the most recent, and next-most-recent of them. They come
in pairs (linux-image-extra, and linux-image). Beware the order
they appear may not tell you which is most recent - check the
version numbers. <br>
<br>
When you mark the un-needed ones for removal, and apply changes,
it will free up a lot of space (even if just a single kernel is
removed). <br>
<br>
Another thing you can do (in a terminal) is:<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get autoremove<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
sudo apt-get autoclean<br>
<br>
I hope that helps you. I have a test system running on a 4-gig
hard-drive, and need to employ tricks such as these to keep it
from running out of space. <br>
<br>
If you use Rosegarden (a MIDI sequence-editor), removing the
lilypond documentation will free up a lot of space. <br>
