clearing out old kernels

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and the latest 3.x kernel ended up corrupted, so I want to get rid of it and re-install it later.
But I do not want to ruin my install.

Click on the synaptic package manager and search "linux".

You click on the kernel/headers of the kernel you want to remove.

BE VERY CAREFUL! If you delete all of the kernels, your computer will not boot.
I always leave at least two kernels and remove the older ones.
