Hi!
My server has lots of older kernels on it. If I have already booted up the latest kernel, is there a way to delete the old ones with the command line? (no GUI)
Thanks in advance!

sudo apt-get remove <kernel>
Thanks! That was easier than I expected.

.Code:sudo apt-get autoremove
OK, now I am being told that I may have to re-run my bootloader [grub]. How might I go about this?
Thanks in advance!
I'm using grub (v1.5, I think), and Ubuntu is the only OS.
Ubuntu is the only OS, but something still has to load the kernel and initramfs, correct?
Bootloader is always necessary, not just for dualbooting. You need something to load the OS kernel into RAM to boot the OS, the only difference between Grub and for example NTLDR or winload.exe/Windows Boot Manager (used by Windows, NTLDR in Windows NT variants and WMB in Vista) is that Grub has better support for booting other operating systems than just the one it was made for.
