| Subject | /boot full (of old-dkms) |
| Message-ID | <xoM8y-6NA-3@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hello, I happen to have a couple of quite large old-dkms* files in my /boot directory. Apparently they are not removed by aptitude autoclean (which I use regularly). Can I safely remove those files manually with rm? Or should I use another tool or command? Thanks! //Erik *) /boot$ ls -al | grep old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26018518 jul 26 2018 initrd.img-4.16.0-1-amd64.old-dkms -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3538944 jul 26 2018 initrd.img-4.16.0-2-amd64.old-dkms -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28866434 jan 16 18:06 initrd.img-4.19.0-1-amd64.old-dkms

However, I would do a backup of those files before removing them. 1) https://askubuntu.com/questions/863380/can-i-remove-old-dkms-files -- John Doe

Apparently there is also a new way of rid of old kernels coming up: kthresher - Purge Unused Kernels https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/kthresher Best regards. //Erik

(I don't yet understand what is needed to rescue the system would something go wrong with a update&&upgrade) Best regards. //Erik

Are these files referenced in /boot/grub/grub.cfg? If not, they are useless for booting and can be removed just as they created. Reco
