Automatically delete old kernels?

Post by seeley »

Hi!
Because I had much troubles (wireless,...) with Mint 14 (later on with Olivia), I installed Fuduntu - works without a single problem, but is no longer maintained.
I'm thinking about installing Mint13, Maya, MATE (LTS!).
In Fedora and openSUSE you can edit a file to define how many kernels you want to keep - in Mint 13?
If you have an own boot partition, you should know that to avoid problems after upgrading kernels (partition too small).

Hi!
Alternative question: Who has installed Mint 13 with own boot parttion?
I have installed Linux multiboot, among others LMDE MATE 1.4.0.1 + Cinnamon 1.6.7 (Gnome 3.4.2), no boot partition, root and home partition.

Code: Select all

uname -a
Linux lmde-notebook 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Code: Select all

seeley@lmde-notebook ~ $ df -h
Filesystem                                              Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

Hi!
Unbelievable. In 2 other forums I had an answer within hours.
Nobody knows if - in Mint 13 - you can edit a file (which one?) to automatically delete old kernels?
Reworded: Anybody else with an own boot partition - size / used / unused / how many kernels?
