Should I Remove Old Kernels?
#7
(03-14-2019, 04:48 PM)mdiemer link Wrote: Yes, and it's an excellent manual. But I am still confused by something: Can I check all the boxes in the dialog for removing kernels, and be left with the last two? Or would doing that leave me with just the last? Or, do I need to check all boxes but the last, to be left with the last two? For me that is still unclear.

You want to look at the versions...
You can find your current via the terminal
Code:
uname -r
Then in Lite tweaks remove anything older less what you want to keep.. (Lite Tweaks WILL NOT list your current kernel).. selecting all will only keep the current...

Example uname outputs kernel... 4.4.125
And Lite Tweaks display kernels... 4.4.124, 4.4.120, 4.4.119, 4.4.118, 4.4.115
- You can delete all but 4.4.124 to have current +1
- Delete all but 4.4.124 and 4.4.120 to have current +2

*Keep all kernel variants for that version, may have multiple listed as generic/image/header and/or the alikes (Keep all with 4.4.124 or all with 4.4.124 and 4.4.120 from the example)
