This will list the kernels currently installed:

$> dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ^ii

The second column will list the package names of the corresponding 
kernels. Just use apt-get to remove the ones you don't want. For 
example, I get the following list of installed kernels:
$> dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ^ii
ii  linux-image-2.6-486                  2.6.16+0.2     Linux kernel 2.6 
image on 486-class machines
ii  linux-image-2.6.15-1-486             2.6.15-8       Linux kernel 
2.6.15 image on 486-class machi
ii  linux-image-2.6.16-2-486             2.6.16-18      Linux kernel 
2.6.16 image on 486-class machi
ii  linux-image-2.6.16-2-686             2.6.16-18      Linux kernel 
2.6.16 image on PPro/Celeron/PI


So if I didn't want linux-image-2.6.15-1-486, I would do (as root):
#> apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.15-1-486
