Question #78588 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78588
Tom proposed the following answer: Yet another way is to run System - Administration - Computer Janitor about once a month or so But a permanent answer requiring no future maintenance is to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a line "howmany=2" just above the automagic list. It might also be handy to cut&paste the Vista chunk from the end of the menu.lst to add Vista back in just above the automagic list but below the "howmany" command - but then you'll probably want to add in another line just above "howmany" to say "default=1" just to make sure it defaults into Ubuntu rather than Vista ;) If this sounds like something worth doing please ask and let us guide you through all this editing :) Err having all those extra kernels doesn't really hurt as you only boot into one of them. They each take up a bit of space on the hard-drive but they don't affect performance in any other way. Also it's good to have at least 1 previous kernel as an option to boot into if you run into trouble with the current one although i've never known that to happen in the last 8 months or so. Notice that the 2nd option for each kernel has "recovery mode" near the end of it's line. This is also worth doing about once a month and just run through the various things like "Clear some space" that appear in that menu before "Resume normal boot" (or if you find yourself on a command-line try "reboot") Good luck and regards from Tom :) -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
