Most Linux distributions do that by default today, Ubuntu included.
It is definitely one of those things where the default case has been made to cover everything and has gotten really complicated.
But the upgrade tool really should be smart enough to clean up the oldest kernels when /boot gets full. That's pretty sad if they haven't fixed that yet.
- jackweirdy 9y agoI think it's a fear thing. Do you wanna be the dev who introduces a bug to the /boot cleanup code and accidentally nukes all the kernels?

- zie 9y agoIt's basically done already: apt-get autoremove It's just not enabled by default, you have to put it in /etc/cron.monthly, if you want it to just run for you.
