if you are talking about /boot/vmlinuz, you are about to remove your kernel. If you want to remove stuff, you should uninstall it. I thought that slackware had an uninstaller. The only thing a newbie should be removing by hand is files that you created. But then again, you learn from every mes-up.
Maybe a slackware guru can help you gain some space.
I'm just confused because I've just installed about a month ago and haven't downloaded anything so I don't know what could be taking up all of my space - is there maybe any general suggestions on what I could do to clear up some space or maybe a good link?
pkgtool is the definate way to de-install all .tgz slackware packages. You must realize though that if you remove anything crucial to booting your system(base package A1 for example) you cannot recover. Look through CAREFULLY and remove the excess items you don't use.
