How to delete old kernels without package management?

  • 772

Is it a good idea to remove the vmlinuz, system.map, initrd.img, config and abi files from old kernels in /boot manually?

They're not listed in dpkg, because I installed Precise Pangolin without removing Lucid Lynx before.

  1. Kernel version for Lucid Lynx is 2.6.32 and no other Ubuntu release uses that kernel. It is safe to remove those old Lucid's kernels runnning:

    sudo rm /boot/*-2.6.32-*
