That only cleans out /usr/src, it's slightly different to what I use
(which rm's the directories first to speed things up) but does basically
the same. You also need to clear out /lib/modules and /boot with
Here's the script I use, which is guaranteed to work when it doesn't
fail. When it does break, you can keep the pieces.
#!/bin/bash
# clean /lib/modules
cd /lib/modules
ls -1rt | head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -fr
# clean /boot
grep --quiet /boot /etc/fstab && mount /boot -o remount,rw
cd /boot
ls -1rt config-* | head -n -2 | while read f; do
bzip2 -9 $f
mv $f.bz2 oldconfigs/
done
ls -1rt System.map-* | head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -f
if [ -f vmlinux ]; then
ls -1rt vmlinux-* | head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -f
else
ls -1rt vmlinuz-* | head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -f
fi
# clean /usr/src
cd /usr/src
ls -1drt linux-* | head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty rm -fr
equery --quiet --nocolor list --duplicates gentoo-sources | awk '{print $1}' |
head -n -2 | xargs --no-run-if-empty emerge --unmerge &>/dev/null
grep --quiet /boot /etc/fstab && mount /boot -o remount,ro
# END
The vmlinuz/vmlinux stuff is because I have a PPC system too, which calls the
kernel vmlinux.
