<div class="moz-cite-prefix">As Jackson said, 'sudo apt-get
autoremove' would take care of cleaning old kernels. I don't use
GUI package managers, but I suspect they have similar
functionality.<br>
<br>
Automated methods, even those who'd notify the user and confirmed
if they wanted to remove old kernels, are problematic. What if the
user didn't know what a kernel is? Can we check that the user
hasn't actually used these kernels in the last n days?<br>
<br>
I'm not saying I'm against a automated, user-controlled method,
but it's probably best to discuss that on a larger scale for all
flavors. Something might even be in the works.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

not either, but it would be nice if there where an option

like that. Like if the user would search for the kernels on
synaptic and choose the ones to remove or keep, but simplified<br>
