[Hoary] Cleaning house in apt-get/synaptic's cache (2.2 GB reclaimed)

[Eric Dunbar]

Hello all, I nearly ran out of room on my 4.6 GB Ubuntu partition (20
GB drive, 15 for OS X, 5 for Ubuntu) -- 100% used (4.4 of 4.6 G
according to 'df -h').

I decided to clean house and clean up the apt-get cache and managed to
get rid of 2.2 G of junk using 'sudo apt-get clean'.

That's *a lot* (50% of my partition) of wasted room so... if you're
wanting to reclaim a lot of disk space and you're using Hoary and
update regularly, clean up apt-get's cache.

FYI I upgraded to Hoary in early December '04.

Eric.
