Removing Old Kernels

OK - my Grub is looking pretty messy since I have upgraded my kernel a few times. I am currently 100% that my 2.6.15-1-k7 kernel is fine and will not need to ever boot into an older kernel. Can someone please explain how I can remove the old kernels from my system so I just show that one entry and don't clutter my system.

Thanks!

Find all kernels installed,

Code:

dpkg --get-selections | grep kernel-image

Then remove unwanted ones:

Code:

apt-get remove --purge kernel-image-...

If you are using unstable,

Code:

dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image

So what would my next course of action be?

Code:

carlos@stricom:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image

linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7                        install

linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7                        install
