No, an just don't delete the kernel. You'll still be stuck
with many files, as in /lib/modules/<kernel version>
Use 'rpm -qa | grep -i kernel' to list installed kernels, then
'urpme kernel-x.x.x....' to remove all of of the one(s) you want
to remove. Example:
tom $ rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
kernel-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-tmb-2.6.5-1.tmb.5mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-sds-2.6.7-0.rc1.1.sds.1mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-2phoenix-2.6.6.1mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-tmb-source-2.6.5-1.tmb.1mdk
kernel-sds-2.6.7-0.rc2.1.sds.1mdk-1-1mdk
So if I wanted to remove all files of 2.6.5-1.tmb, including
it's lilo entry, I'd su to root and type
'urpme kernel-tmb-2.6.5-1.tmb.5mdk-1-1mdk'
(use copy'n paste to avoid typos).
Make sure you're not removing a kernel that is currently your
(lilo) default kernel and that you're currently using the one you
want to keep ('uname -r'). If you have kernel-source installed,
remove that with urpme also, as above. Kernel-source and modules
removal will yield the most disk space. Kernel files in /boot
take up very little space. In any event 'urpme' will clean up
the whole deal.
