Re: [Solved] Boot partition is full
That script is available at viewtopic.php?f=213&t=250801 However it also does some additional clean-up tasks and there appears to be a bug with it. What I provided here just cleared-out old and unused kernels. You should do that when you're sure a kernel upgrade is OK and not let them pile-up :...

Re: Disk nearly full but its not really
Without seeming to be brash, have you tried bleach bit? It has two aspects - as root, and as general. I ran up against a 'no room, lack of space' several years ago problem, which I eventually solved with autoclean, autoremove, from terminal. It freed up over 2 gigs in root. Since then I run bb often...

Re: formatting my hd.
thanks. The os I need to keep is the secondary (b0ttom) choice on screen prompt. And the disc usage screen pic is severely confusing to me. i.e. I don,t want to be wiping the wrong boot sector.

[solved] formatting my hd.
Hello Can someone please tell me the format command from terminal window?! I bought a GATEWAY laptop....
