another guy mentioned apt-get remove, but it may also be helpful to purge the kernel as well if required. what i do is dpkg -r kernel-image-some_version then dpkg --purge kernel-image-some_version theres a way to do it with apt too but from a quick look at the help portion i don't see it..maybe apt-get remove purge kernel-image-some_version purge usually takes care of the configuration files and stuff. not sure if the kernel image requires a purge off the top of my head but it cant hurt. also i usually rename the modules directory or remove it (the /lib/modules/2.2.whatever directory) nate
