[ubuntu-uk] Unwanted kernels .....

[Simon Greenwood]

This command will remove all but your running kernel from the command line:

sudo apt-get remove --purge $(dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname
-r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^
]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d')

Source is here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu
and it's what I use to make space when /boot is getting on for full.
