I have 200 MB assigned for the /boot partition. Whenever I try to update the kernel, I receive an error message that basically states /boot is full.
What can I do to cleanup /boot and remove/backup the older kernels?
I see the linux-hwe-generic package as part of the kernels you can install in Ubuntu.
What is hardware enablement (HWE)?
I thought the whole essence of swap was to act as a temporary storage safety net when RAM was full but my swap partition is constantly being used even though I sometimes have as much as 3GB free RAM. Is this normal?
I need to add the boot parameter foo=bar to my kernel. How can I do this once for testing, and permanently if testing was a success?
Every time I install a new Linux kernel, it gets left in the grub_config, making the boot menu longer each time.
I know I can manually search through the installed packages and remove them.
Does Ubuntu provide any easier way to clean them up or keep them from showing in the boot list?
