it is safe to remove any kernel that is NOT referenced(Used) in your /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst file if you keep a minimal sized / partition, it's probably good to get rid of the clutter ( unused kernels ) and also remove ( rm -rf /lib/modules/<old-kernel> ) before removing "what you think is unused kernels", make sure you can boot with other media ( cd, floppy, .. ) c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
