Multiple Linux headers, can I just delete the old ones?
I updated again today and noticed that I have 3 different versions of header files in my SRC directory:
Linux-headers-2.6.27-7 Linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic Linux-headers-2.6.27-9 Linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic Linux-headers-2.6.27-11 Linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic Can I just delete the Linux-headers-2.6.27-7 and Linux-headers-2.6.27-9 without corrupting or breaking anything? Pantherman |

uname -r If you have old kernel headers then you may also have old kernels. Check your kernel packages for unneeded kernels. If you want more detail then tell us what distribution and what package manager you are using. --------------------- Steve Stites |

Yes, much more detail would be appericated as I don't want to "break" anything in the system.....again. uname -r returns: 2.6.27-11-generic as the kernel that I'm running, would I still need Linux-headers-2.6.27-11 then? I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with a graphical add/remove program that was installed as part of the system, I assume that it's a graphical front-end for the Synaptic Package Manager. Thanks in advance.

Once you get the list you can tick on the green box beside each package you want to delete and click on "Mark for removal". When you have ticked everything you want then click on "Apply". A pop-up window will appear and you click on "Apply" again. -------------------- Steve Stites |
