When you say several option in grub, do you mean several different kernels to boot from? If so, you can remove the ones you are not using manually in synaptic. Just be very careful you do not delete the kernel packages for the kernel you are currently running. the ones to look for are: linux-headers linux-image linux-restricted-modules (if you are running them) linux-ubuntu-modules Just be very very careful! make double sure you are only removing the kernel numbers you are not using :-) I think that grub will also be automagically adjusted to show only the installed kernel versions.
