"submit patch" [TM] :-) To do that I would have to: Know what files are related to a kernel Know how to identify the oldest kernel, or rather which kernels are the older of N kernels. Know how to, in a script, parameterize the selection of a kernel and all its files And I come up empty on all the above. I can write simple scripts, and Professor Goggle is good at giving me short lessons to, at times, expand my horizons. But this is not something I am going to tackle. I will just put up with things as they are. > WRT larger /boot partition, that's fixable in the templates used by the > tool that will generate new images, but of course that will not fix the > issue for people using previous images. And, for the most part, when I lay down an image on a HD, I use gparted on my notebook to expand both the root and the boot partitions. For some reason, on ONE system I did not increase the boot partition... Bob
