Bug Description
I have a dell mini 9, I opted for the 4gb solid state.. as I take this thing with me everywhere..
I am desperately trying to sqease another 400mb out of it (I already uninstalled documentation) to get 200mb , I have clear browser cache buttons, and I have an SD card for my documents...
I use google chrome, and was shocked to find that uninstalling firefox would only give me about 100k.. then it turns out that netbook remix depends on xulrunner..
So I started to look for artwork to nuke, gnome-icon-theme and stuff like that.. I
m more than happy using the low-color varient of everything... I just don't see how to remove it without removing the netbook-remix package (maybe the useful gnome statusbar/ window bar overlap is in another package So I don't need to be afraid about it going away?
Eitherway, I'd like to be able to remove some of the "expected to be there--but i dont need it stuff"
I will not be offended with a closed, ubuntu-

Ok, it turns out that the kernel upgrades were using 400+mb and then when I unistalled -14 it took out my wireless.. but I knew to dpkg-reconfigure bcwm sources...
So the bug is actually that old kernels stick around far too long, and the broadcom package doesnt get rebuilt with a new kernel.
Maybe we could have the disk clean manager check some stats to see if a user successfully booted into newer kernels, and knock out some of the older ones. I think i had 5 kernels... It makes sense to keep the last one, just incase... and maybe a user kept computer up for whole time and us upgrading 2 kernels before reboot-- so the disk housekeepin tool should look to see what kernels have worked properly... and even ask the user before removing them.
The only thing the disk cleaner asks me to remove is hulu-desktop... and I installed that myself... and it even warns me that i might have installed it myself ;) but it doesn't know anything about old kernels..
