</div>Ok, shouldn't be a problem.<br>

</div>No implication unless you are short or room on the HDD. The kernel and its modules can take up significant room.<br>

><br>
</div>I don't know the answer to that except that I think the kernel and version are optimized to each other.<br>

</div>If you mean uninstall kernels, then no as long as you keep the last two or more kernels. If you mean to uninstall the operating system version then you wont have an OS unless you originally kept windose on the HDD or have some other OS still installed. From your post I assumed you only had version 9.04 and upgraded to 9.10.<br>

</div>Good luck, then. FWIW, I have several versions or Ubuntu and Vista on my hard drive, all are separate installs on their own partitions and have many kernel entries for each ubuntu OS all without any problems. There is no real need to remove any kernel from the grub list unless you are critically short of room on your hard disk.<br>
