The problem is not learning obscure commands, but rather the syntax.
It is inaccurate. LIke naming the command for save to be "delete".
Just thought that was funny. I would use apt to remove kernel instead of a script. |

These two scripts are named in a confusing manner imo. No big deal if your used to it, ive never made an error personally but surely script names should be indicitive of what action they perform? Of course long time users would have to change there habits, but all other users would benefit from this i'm sure. One letter difference to delete all kernels in the system is a bit harsh.
I vote for remove-old-kernels-completely and remove-all-kernels-completely as someone else suggested. |

Actually, to make it clear, the names could be:
1. remove-current-kernel-completely
2. remove-all-non-current-kernels-completely
because it's actually the non current, not the old, kernels, that are removed, at least if I understand that right.
Ahhh yes, I didn't know that the current kernel was kept, regardless of whether it's old or not. So I agree with h2's suggestion  |

With all due respect to everyone, if Kano wants to name it "stand-on-your-head-completely.sh" that's fine with me.
I have a file titled "Kanotix Tweaks" where I have copied and pasted information from this forum and the IRC for a year and a half. To anyone and everyone who is interested in Kanotix, I would suggest doing something like that. If I don't remember exactly what a shell script or a command (or whatever) is called, I can find it in a matter of seconds.
A favorite saying of my dear, departed Uncle Faulby was "A dull pencil beats a sharp mind." The 21st century version might be, "A cluttered and disorganized computer file beats a sharp mind."

P.S. He also would say, "The spouting whale catches the harpoon" and "Trust in Allah, but tie your camel." (Where he got that second one, I'll never know.) My favorite, however, was his commentary on parashute jumping. "Son, only fools and birdshit fall from the sky." |

I could dig "stand-on-your-head-completely.sh".
At least it wouldn't be ambiguous. Put the name in German, if it makes you feel bettter, but be precise. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
This is a useless thread. Either fix it or forget it. |

What modification to the script to remove the headers?
Sorry...I keep forgetting to look this answer up for you.
I added:
rm -rf /usr/src/linux-headers-$KERNEL
to remove-all-kernels-completely.
If you go look in your /usr/src directory, you'll see a lot of old header directories if you've been upgrading your kernels...
p.s., I suggested the script name change for the newbies that may want to use the scripts. It was just a constructive suggestion to keep other folks from getting confused... |

Thanks kenyee - next time I upgrade, will this remove all header directories? If not, can I just delete them manually?

I use the remove-all-kernels-completely script but I still have all the kernelupdate-kernel-2.6etc.etc folders in /usr/src. These are taking up most of my space on my hard drive. Can I just delete them?

Of course you can remove them, if you don't use the similar named kernel any more.
You may also remove all the downloaded kernel-*.zip files, together with the folders where you unpacked them.

This script is not for newbies at all - there is no reason for them to remove kernels without knowing what they do. I believe that Kano choose this name intentionally, to make it sound frightening - that is probably the best tactic against people who are not willing to understand, before they act.
Some of Kano's scripts are made idiot-safe, those are the ones we promote. This one is not.
Greetings,
Chris |

But if they do install kernels, then at some point, they will have to run some sort of cleanup or their /boot or /usr partition will fill up w/ extra kernel source or headers (that's why I needed to use it). It's not a harmful script when used properly, and naming a script for what it does is one way to get them to use it properly IMHO
At any rate, I'm glad the script exists so I don't have to clean up all that kruft myself... |
