Yes, that sounds like a good plan to me. Please note that when you remove the older kernel, grub should be updated, but you should double-check this by examining /boot/grub/menu.lst If it has not been updated you can do so either manually or by running update-grub. In any case examining /boot/grub/menu.lst after changing kernel packages around is a good idea -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
