Do you actually need to keep the kernel-sources? Once the kernel is compiled and you moved the image to /boot/..., you don't need to keep the sources. I also keep an older kernel just in case, but I don't tend to actually keep the sources around once I have confirmed the new kernel will boot. -- Joost
