[Nix-dev] garbage-collection of the last 'n' generations

[Guillaume Maudoux (Layus)]

Your system generations are under /nix/var/nix/profiles.

You can `rm -i $(cd /nix/var/nix/profiles; ls *-link -1dtr | head -n -<# 
of versions to to keep> | grep -v $(readlink system) | xargs realpath 
-s)` :-)

and then do a normal gc.
