Totally Wipe a Hard Drive

[David Van Assche]

I assume you are talking about grub and the way it lists the kernel
upgrades... Ususally it automatically loads up the latest kernel, and the
other stuff is just there in case something has gone wrong with your current
install... But you can simply edit the grub boot up options and erase what
you dont want. Its stored in /boot/grub/menu.lst

In order to make more space, your best option is using gparted (sudo apt-get
install gparted) which will allow you do delete partitions, create new ones,
and also extend or shrink existing partitions... This will have to be done
from a non-mounted system however... (shrinking, extending that is) so you
might wanna load up from a live cd to do that.

Kind Regards,
Davud Van Assche
