All these old kernels...

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi folks.
I have a whole bunch of old and obsolete kernels on my hard drive and
every time there comes a new kernel my /boot/grub/menus.lst gets updated
and ofcourse then includes all my old and obsolete kernels, so i have to
go in and trim down the menu.lst file by hand so that i can use my dual
boot with not so much down arrowing.
What i would like to know is, is there a way in Ubuntu to delete the old
kernels that i no longer need so that only new kernels get used and so
that the menu.lst doesn't get updated and gets longer and longer?
If i could start gnome, which i can't due to a mistake from me, i could
probably hand-delete the kernels or something like that but i wonder if
there are other more safe methods to remove old kernels.
Thanks for any help.
