(Reading database ... 57740 files and directories currently installed.) Removing kernel-image-2.6.7-1-k7 ... You are running a kernel (version 2.6.7-1-k7) and attempting to remove the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only will /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-1-k7 be removed, making it impossible to boot it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to boot a new kernel), it will also remove all modules under the directory /lib/modules/2.6.7-1-k7. Just having a copy of the kernel image is not enough, you will have to replace the modules too. I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt, answer no. If you know exactly what you are doing, and are prepared to hose your system, then answer Yes.
