So, I've been updating ubuntu every time the automatic updater tells me I should. Now I have a billion kernels to scroll through when I boot up my computer.

Is there any way I can delete the old kernels and keep only the most recent and the second most recent [in case something goes wrong]?




Thanks!!!

oh: I'm rather new still to this whole linux thing so, talk dumb at me!

Open up synaptic package manager and do a search for linux-image and remove the linux-image-2.6.xxxxx-generic ones you don't need I would suggest keeping atleast one extra as backup
