Question Solved - Grub/Gfxboot settings for different kernels - Ubuntu 8.04


Hi all,
I've updated the kernel for my ubuntu hardy heron from 2.6.24-19 to 2.6.24-23. My question is: can I comment out the statements for the older kernel to simplify the menu or have I to leave all the strings there for some stability purpose? I think yes but I prefer to have some confirmations from you since I'm not a skill Linux user.
========MENU.LST===========
gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.ubuntumsk-1024x768
# splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splashimages/red.xpm.gz
default 0
timeout 10

Yes you can comment out the old kernel sections. I just delete them when I delete the old kernels from /boot.
