I tried to upgrade to RedHat 7.1 tonight, and I found that I do not have
enough disk space on /. So I have 3 options:
1. Fresh install
2. Repartition
3. Clean up
As much as I'd like to repartition, I'm not sure enough of myself to plow
into that, although I'd like to hear what tricks there might be that would
make it easy (easier?) to do.
One thing I've noticed is that I seem to have extra kernels around, but I
thought I'd see if there is any reason I need to keep them before I whack
them. Here's what I have:
ls -l vm*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1621659 Aug 22 2000 vmlinux-2.2.16-22
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1739279 Aug 22 2000 vmlinux-2.2.16-22smp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Apr 16 22:51 vmlinuz ->vmlinuz-2.2.16-22smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 627379 Aug 22 2000 vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 654459 Aug 22 2000 vmlinuz-2.2.16-22smp
My lilo has:
cat /etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
message=/boot/message
linear
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22smp
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-22smp.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
label=linux-up
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-22.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda1
So, I can get of the uncompressed kernel images, right?
BTW, when considering my options for repartitioning, I do have a DAT drive
for backup/restore ops.
Thanks,
Bill
