My apologies:

$ sudo aptitude purge -s ~i2.6.28-11

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  linux-headers-2.6.28-11{p} linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic{p}
  linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic{p}
  linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-generic{p}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 173MB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

Apparently apt-get doesn't do the trick & isn't interchangeable with
'aptitude' and that command. Is there a similar '~i" for apt-get?
