How do you get rid of old kernels once you have loaded a new one and determine it works? Also how do you remove old versions from the LILO Screen? I have limited space and want to clear out as much old stuff as possible.
Thanks,
Steve

then use the rm command on all the set of files that end in the kernel version you wish to remove.
then go to /etc/lilo.conf with an editor, and remove the stanza that booted the kernel version, save, and run lilo.
likewise when you install a kernel run the kernel install from HD , that puts all the set of kernel files into /boot and then go back to lilo.conf and write a stanza to boot them, then run lilo.
Quite often you don't even have to add the lilo.conf entries as the kernel installer does that as well but not always.
