Is there *any* reason to maintain directories, most are empty and some still contain nvidia drivers and vbox***.ko files, from removed kernels, ie:

and quite a few others.
I discovered these directories while searching for something else :^).
If there is no reason to maintain these directories, why aren't they removed by zypper. I try the newer kernels and when I don't find a problem, remove the previous, maintaining only the stock updated kernel and one other well performing kernel.
The ones containing kernel modules like nvidia and vbox are still in use, as the KMP magic symlinks the modules from the old directory to the new one. So keep those. If the directories are completely empty, you can remove them. Ciao, MArcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
