I'm reminding myself of the engineer Dilbert was testing who answered "all of

moving most of 'em to cd.
I just found a mildly useful command, based on the Debian popularity-contest:
popcon-largest-unused

Apparently my largest unused is tetex-base, however I will actually
start using that at some point.
It also suggests I get rid of the kernel headers (I need them to
compile my WiFi if I ever need to plug that back in).

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested thus, and I don't know how to go
about it, but is there some way of safely removing all the old
Kernels? (I know how to erase them from grubs menu but I was thinking
more along the lines of actually removing the image). Any docs for
this?

Wasn't there going to be an application for this kind of thing at some point?
