I'm not a computer-wiz and
I had trouble installing the Tweak tool because .. gunzip had no space. The standard autoclean and autoremove was not able to help me as i had an odd dependency-issue for one of the old kernels and the return code for the preinstalled removal-program was 1 -then it tried to figure out the dependency and ... ran out of space .

After manually removing some of the older kernels and images (using remove because purge didn't work), I was able to install Tweak and remove the rest. Lovely 2 hours used on annoying kernel issues -but hey it seems solved now. And next time i have the tweak-janitor :)
