hard disk full

[n7tzg]

I just installed Hardy today, having been through Easy Eft, I had to update my way through Fiesty, Gutsy, and Hardy. Now when I boot, I get the low disk space message, and wondered where the best place to get rid of useless fat is. I have next to nothing installed on my system and 32Gb of hard disk space. Any suggestions? I had thought about the older kernel installations, and their associated files, but I don't know where they are located.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

well if youhave been using since FF you probably have a lot of packages downloaded. Try cleaning them out with

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean

To gain more disk space, try to:

-Remove packages in your cache directory

sudo apt-get clean

-Try to remove old/unused linux-kernels using your Synaptics

I already ran apt-get clean, and it didn't seem to free any space. I then went to /boot and removed all of the old vmlinuz, etc files. I will try synaptics next, but I am not quite certain what I need to do there.

Just uncheck the old/unused kernel in the Synaptics.

Thank you all for your great suggestions. I have applied them, and I at least have 3Gb (10%) free space now. Thanks again
