I'd like to stream-line my system and get rid of files that I don't need that are taking up necessary disk space but I don't know where to look or start. As an example, I know that kernels can take up a lot space. When I compiled my kernel, I named it JWKERNEL but at / I've noticed that there are 3 separate kernels: KERNEL, KERNEL-GENERIC and KERNEL-OLD. I know I shouldn't delete KERNEL-OLD, since this is needed for possible system recovery. Can I delete KERNEL-GENERIC? I'm going to post this on FreeBSD-Questions as well but I was just wondering if someone could tell me where I might find information associated with this topic. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
