My kernel images from redhat all seem to be around 1 meg these days, about 2.5 meg uncompressed. :( It's getting so that you need to create a boot cd instead of a boot floppy. Anyway, I agree with Dave, take out the grub entries. Another thing is to do if you want to get rid of kernels entirely: 'rpm -qa | grep kernel' You'll notice multiple kernel rpms installed. to remove one, do: rpm -e kernel-<full version spec> Type the kernel with full version info just like you saw it in the list of kernels we dumped out.
