After doing system updates I am left with several old kernel versions, which synaptic lists as being obsolete.
The latest kernel I have is 2.6.24.19
The synaptic package manager lists linux-headers, linux-image, linux-ubuntu-modules, and linux-restricted-modules from many older versions.
All these files that synaptic is calling obsolete are taking up several hundred MBs of disk space.
Can I safely delete them? I am still a linux newbie and do not want to mess around deleting kernels without knowing what I am doing.
