[Bug 241368] Re: remove old kernels from grub list

[DanielRoesler]

I'm glad people are discussing and proposing fixes to this bug, and I
have some questions.

This script, from what I understand, creates a suggested command (but
doesn't run it) to remove all but the last good boot kernel and the
highest numbered kernel, right? If not, please clarify.

I worry that this script doesn't address the original problem of a
confused new user after updating. First, I'm assuming this script would
automatically run after an update, and it would also be changed to
actually run the 'sudo apt-get remove ...' command, right?

Second, when the user reboots, there are still two kernels to choose
from in the Grub list. Plus, there still isn't any indication about
which one to pick. How can we explain, either on the Grub menu or before
the user reboots, which one to pick?

Perhaps we could change the listing for the latest kernel to be appended
with an "(Updated)" or "(Recommended)" or something?
