Autoremove removes packages, it does not purge. The difference is that remove leaves configuration files in place. So you have a tedious bit of "apt purge linux-image-… [linux-image-…]" etc. ahead. Just be sure to not purge the two most recent kernel packages, and especially not the kernel you are currently running on. > > > Why is this stuff there?

I conjecture that the reason updating the kernel removes rather than purges old kernels is in case the user has a custom kernel and wishes to preserve those customizations. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
