hello everyone,
I have a problem with space on hard disk. I installed sometime ago (then it was the latest version) upgrade to 9.04 and I would like (if it is possible of course ) uninstall files from previous version because it's still in my boot menu I think that I can free some disk space then. Am I thinking correct?

I assume your talking about old kernals? Yes, you can remove those and they do take up some space. The way I did it was open up Synaptic and search for linux-image and do a complete removal of the ones your not using. Im not sure if that also removes the linux-headers as well but you can check the same way.

If your not sure what kernal your using you can do a
uname -a
