Re: Removing redundant kernels

Following updates I find I have several redundant kernels and

first thought of 'rm'ing the relevant files and editing menu.lst good
enough?
Thanks to all for the helpful responses. It's an experimental system and
I installed the kernels 'accidentally' via Synaptic Reload/Mark all
Updates/Apply, so I had no direct involvement in choosing specific
kernel packages. No doubt I'll find them in the Synaptic listing somewhere.
If I might pose a supplementary question, can anyone suggest why the
default kernel on my AMD Athlon 3200+ is a '-486' version whereas on a
Pentium III it's a '-686' version: this is directly from system
installation. My understanding of the hardware is that the AMD processor
is fully compatible with the Pentium IV and therefore a '-686' kernel
would seem appropriate.
At the moment this question is purely academic, but any daylight would
be helpful.
Many thanks.
