Removing ititrd files
by NakedRider from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K8KR)
I'm just checking to make sure I don't shoot myself in the foot!
I recently got a new hard drive. Of course I had to reinstall Slackware from an ISO. In doing so I think I must have selected a generic kernel when I normally use the huge.
I have blocked the generic kernel in the /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file so I only get the huge kernel when I update. The generic kernel that was initially loaded was 5.12.10. I'm now on 5.12.12.
When the slackpkg upgrade-all is done loading the packages it tells me that I have more than one kernel. I read the /boot/README.initrd file and it says that you should have an entry initrd=/boot/initrd.gz in the /etc/lilo.conf file. I don't have this entry.
Anyway, I see in the /boot directory the following files:
System.map-generic-5.12.10
config-generic-5.12.10
initrd.gz
vmlinuz-generic-5.12.10
Just to tidy things up is it safe to remove those files?
Thanks.
