Yes. :-) Start by cleaning up /; usually that starts with /tmp ... but you've already got that on a separate partition, As for the size - the machine I'm currently on shows: huff@> du /boot | sort -nr | head 210558 /boot 93642 /boot/kernel 93002 /boot/kernel.old 22978 /boot/GENERIC 22 /boot/defaults 2 /boot/zfs 2 /boot/modules 2 /boot/firmware That's 220mb just for kernels. There's no reason I can't delete kernel.old or GENERIC ... but having fall-backs lets me sleep better. Add 13m for /sbin, 20m for /lib, and you're pretty much done. (That machine has a 500mb /.)
