I have installed the mainline kernel 3.10 as recommended here so that I can have my WiFi.

I'm running into space problems as described here (dpkg configuration running out of space, having separate /boot)

Is it safe to run the recommended command described in this blog as pointed out in that answer? If not, how should it be modified? I'm using:

dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | 

 sed "s/(.*)-([^0-9]+)/1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* ([^ ]*).*/1/;/[0-9]/!d' | 

 xargs sudo apt-get -y purge

dpkg --list | grep linux-image

I'm not sure about which ones are the latest. Please show me which ones are definitely the oldest and unneeded so they can be removed with sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic.
