Through upgrades, etc., I've accumulated six kernel images.

Can I safely rm those I don't want to keep? Are there other directories
and files that need to be included in the clean-up?
as suggested in other email [from Andrei Popescu] don't rm them, use aptitude purge, but I
would keep atleast 2 versions, incase a upgrade fails
Thanks, I ran purge on the four oldest. Three of them reported an error:
rmdir: failed to remove `/lib/modules/2.6.22-3-486': Directory not empty
dpkg - warning: while removing linux-image-2.6.22-3-486, directory

koko:/lib/modules/2.6.22-3-486$ ls -al

Do these belong to a package, or would I simply rm them?
