In continuing to try and learn more about how the LL file system (and linux generally) is organized, could someone tell me where the downloaded *.deb packages are stored, as well as the linux kernel packages, on the LL file system, in my case LL3.8 ?
Many thanks for any help with this

/var/cache/apt/archives/

Had a look at the above location, but only some packages listed, i.e.
firefox, flashplugin, gir1.2, libn*, libpcap, libsmbclient, libsnapd, libssh, libwbclient, network manager, samba packages.
Can't see Kernel packages or others.
[member=458]m654321[/member] Your kernel packages will be named linux-image-somenumber ....
as to not many packages there, when did you last do "sudo apt autoremove" as that actually removes cached packages, saving space on the system.
Hope this helps :)

Yes, i run 'autoremove' regularly, so I guess that explains why there isn't much in there right now .
Many thanks for pointing that out.

Kernel packages are stored there along with all other packages, they are not in a separate location. If there are none there, then your last clean cleared them out.
[member=2]Jerry[/member] Thanks for the reminder, forgot about clean :)
[member=458]m654321[/member] using sudo apt-get and one of the following will clean out the cached packages:
Code:
autoremove - Remove all unused packages automatically
clean - Erase downloaded archive files
autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files
info from "apt-get --help"
Hope this helps :)
