I don't have any reference to these files in grub.conf. default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Gentoo Current Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-current root=/dev/sda3 vga=normal title Gentoo Old Kernel root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-old root=/dev/sda3 This would save me almost 6Mb -- Thelma
