Ah yes, my comfort zone. Cozy but tiny. I can do that. I will do that. I feel empowered.

[GreyGeek]

Also, you have ~/.bashrc, the bash config file. In it you can tell it how many commands entered on the command line to store:

...
# don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space in the history.
# See bash(1) for more options
HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

# append to the history file, don't overwrite it
shopt -s histappend

# for setting history length see HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in bash(1)
HISTSIZE=1000
HISTFILESIZE=2000
...

Another file, ~/.bash_history, contains the last HISTFILESIZE number of commands entered. You can use Kate to capture lines for documentation purposes, or for posting to the forum. It sure beats trying to remember them or writing them down.

[logan01]

My kind of file. Let the memory in the pc work instead of what little remains with me.

LOL ,,,OK then lets have one more look at what a autoremove would do at present

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

just go ahead and select no after it prints out the info untill we think on it

LOL yes ,,,me to

you will need to go thrugh that "dpkg" output and manualy remove all the
linux-image

linux-image-extra

and

linux-signed-image

EXCEPT the 4.4.0-97 and 4.4.0-98 bits

that is to say

sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-3.19.0-41-generic

one at a time or you can put several at once separated by a space .

After entering Yes, sure hope the first word "Found" in the listed results does not mean "found and removed". It's "finding" several -97 / -98s. Even a few -59s which I thought were gone.
