Re: [Trisquel-users] Kernel conflict

[jason]

You can, of course, remove whatever you want - it's your system. It is still  
a good idea to leave the old kernel there in case there's something wrong  
with the new one. While that may not happen very often (as you say "without  
encountering problems") there's always a possibility. There's no real benefit  
to removing the old kernel beyond saving some disk space. Whatever happened  
with the situation here where you ended up in the rescue mode was almost  
certainly not because of a "kernel conflict" as a result of 2 kernels  
existing on disk but something else. There wasn't enough information provided  
to fully diagnose it though. We know only that you ended up in the rescue  
shell.
