Aloha,
I need to free up some space on my hard drive and I thought /usr/src might
be a good place to start as it appears I have several versions of old kernel
sources stored there. I need some advice on what is safe to delete without
screwing up the system references to libraries etc.
Here is some info that you may find useful:
[ben at VALinux ben]$ uname -a
Linux VALinux.localhost.localdomain 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp #1 SMP Fri Mar 14
05:52:30 EST 2003 i686 unknown
[ben at VALinux ben]$ ls -l /usr/src
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 7 2001 kernel
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 5 2001 linux ->
linux-2.2.18pre11
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 22 2002 linux-2.2.18pre11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 22 01:36 linux-2.4 ->
linux-2.4.18-27.7.x
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Mar 22 01:36 linux-2.4.18-27.7.x
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Feb 15 2002 redhat
[ben at VALinux ben]$
If I delete the linux-2.2.18pre11 directory, do I need to relink /../linux
to something else? What other risks do I run in this clean up???
Thanks in advance,
Ben
