List of installed kernels should not grow   forum
Written by probono the 1 Mar 08 at 17:31. Global category: Installation. Implemented
Ubuntu currently doesn't upgrade the kernel, it just keeps adding newer and newer kernels to the system.

Currently, the list of kernels installed on a Ubuntu system grows over time. This takes up additional disk space and adds clutter to the boot loader.

Ideally, older kernels should be removed automatically.

Maybe leave current and current-1, but not _all_ of them...

This is done for Intrepid, with the package "system-cleaner" installed by default.

Easier Install  
Written by Dave31294 the 24 Mar 08 at 00:51. Global category: Installation. Not an idea
When it comes time for a install and you have to do partitioning, it needs to be a lot easier. GRUB also has to go. There is just way to many risk when using it. A Ubuntu developed solution that is bug free would be great.
