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. 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). Another thing you can do (in a terminal) is: sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean 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. If you use Rosegarden (a MIDI sequence-editor), removing the lilypond documentation will free up a lot of space. - Aere On 12/03/2014 03:49 AM, Steven Duckworth wrote: > Hi, > > I am currently using a Fujitsu Siemens Intel Celeron M laptop with > 40GB onboard memory (my PC motherboard recently burnt out), and was > wondering as to the safest way to delete old or unwanted files in > Synaptic Package Manager. > > My hard-drive space is very limited so to be able to keep it > uncluttered would be a bonus! > I did read an article on the net some time back, but thought it best > to check with the Lubuntu tech team. > > Thanks in advance, > > Steven Duckworth > South Africa > > -- > web button 125x50.png > > > > -- Sincerely, Aere -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
