Maybe kernels are still installed as well.

Lina, what does

dpkg -l | grep linux-

$ dpkg -l | grep linux-
ii doc-linux-text                        2008.08-1                         Linux HOWTOs and FAQs in ASCII format
ii linux-base                            3.3                               Linux image base package
ii linux-headers-3.0.0-mbp82-lina        1900                              Header files related to Linux kernel, specifically,
ii linux-image-3.0.0-mbp82-lina          1900                              Linux kernel binary image for version 3.0.0-mbp82-lina
ii linux-libc-dev                        3.0.0-3                           Linux support headers for userspace development

Can I remove
ii linux-source-2.6.39                   2.6.39-3                          Linux kernel source for version 2.6.39 with Debian patches

or

ls -lh /boot/{vm,init}*

show?

$ ls -lh /boot/{vm,init}*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.9M Sep 8 10:25 /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-mbp82-lina
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.1M Jul 26 22:12 /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-mbp82-lina

Thanks.

Removing packages for older, not used kernels will save some diskspace as
well.
