it is safe to remove any kernel that is NOT referenced(Used) in your
/etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst file
if you keep a minimal sized / partition, it's probably good to get
rid of the clutter ( unused kernels ) and also remove ( rm -rf
/lib/modules/<old-kernel> )
before removing "what you think is unused kernels", make sure you can
boot with other media ( cd, floppy, .. )
