Old entries in /grub/menu.lst after upgrade
 

Kubuntu Dapper 6.06

My GRUB boot menu now contains three kernel versions: 2.6.15-23-386, 2.6.15-25-386, and 2.6.15-26-386, with, of course, a normal and a recovery mode for each.

Should I somehow uninstall the two earlier ones, and if so, how, or is it OK to just comment them out as I have done? I'm not expert enough to ever be likely to want to boot into an earlier version.

Thanks!

Just commenting them out is fine. You could delete the kernels from the /boot directory, but they really don't take up much room. I usually keep a few older kernels in my menu.lst that I "know" were working properly.

Arow....thanks! That's the easy solution I hoped to hear.

Just remember when you update your kernel they will reappear, if you want them gone for good then you would run to remove which ever one you want to remove. It's a good idea to have at least 2 with one that you know works so if the newer one breaks, you have a fall back option.

binary...thanks! That's good to know...that they reappear. Next time I update, I'll get rid of soem down to the newest and one previous. The current one (2.6.15-26-386) seems to be working.
