What's the easiest way to protect > these from --depclean? Aha! That's why I said first look at what it wants to remove - you don't wa= nt=20 to cripple your system. In this case of course it won't cripple anything,= =20 because it won't remove the kernel image from /boot/ If you look in /usr/src/linux/ you will see a number of kernel sources list= ed=20 in there. If you've run update world there should be a more up-to-date ker= nel=20 awaiting for you to configure and compile it. Do that first; copy the=20 necessary files into /boot; configure grub.conf to boot with you latest=20 kernel; and after you boot into it and check that all is good you can allow= -- depclean to remove older kernel source files. PS. You may need to manually remove older source files left in=20 /usr/src/linux/ when depclean completes its job. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1858803.MCtiyiHzkk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk21gUkACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZPWQCfRIE6Lf8TbM1OtDO2UOFR4PL1 SwkAn0a+SDWI9ny4wKSCORZR+f+cOVlM =UjE+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1858803.MCtiyiHzkk--
