I am running Ubuntu 8.04. It boots up on Kernel version 22. However, when booting up I am presented with several lines relating to older Kernel versions and their respective "recovery mode". Obviously automatically saved as updates are installed.
I read somewhere that old versions should be removed as they slow down the booting process. Though I don't really have any complaint about what seems to me to be a quick bootup anyway. It's just that I don't like all those lines of information in my face. So I have some questions please: 1. What is the purpose of storing the old kernel versions? 2. Any reason why I should not delete the oldies? (And/or maybe just save the last superseded one?) 3. How would I go about deleting them? Happy New Year . . . .
