Well, as long as you current kernel works (which has almost always been the case for me), you can remove the older ones. Remove the linux-image-VERSION-generic packages and it will also remove the modules for you. HTH, Hervé <div class="gmail_quote">2009/2/3 Joseph L.

Also, what is the significance of the 2.6.27-11.14 and 2.6.27-11.27, why wouldn't I just have say 2.6.27-11.27?
