Rimozione Kernel

The document discusses how to remove obsolete kernel images and headers from Ubuntu using the terminal. It provides commands to: 1) Check which kernel is currently running and list the installed kernel images and headers. 2) Remove older kernel header packages using apt-get purge before removing the corresponding kernel images. 3) Use apt-get purge to remove obsolete kernel image packages, which frees up disk space of up to 150MB per kernel. It also describes updating Grub2 after removing kernels to remove entries from the boot menu.

Rimuovere i vecchi kernels


Rimuovere uno specifico kernel comporta una liberazione di spazio fino a 150MB e rimuovere un
headers pu liberare fino a 100M.

E preferibile rimuovere dapprima gli headers


sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.8.0-19
