My boot menu has the following entries (plus recovery mode), I always
default to entry 0. What are the others and how do I delete unwanted
ones?

'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.1-amd64 and Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.1-amd64 and Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.1-amd64 and Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64'



remove the corresponding kernel package and the menu items will be removed

for example:
$ apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-0-bpo.4-amd64

success,

Ok, and which one's should I purge if I have no idea what the
differences are?
bpo?
rt?
xen?

You have no idea why these kernels are on you system? Why should we
know why you put them there in the first place?

Purge anything beginning with "linux-image", But stop at the one which
most obviously says something like "this will destroy your system".

The "rt" image, that is for "real-time" no? The average user would not use that one. I think the "jack audio" system drags that one in. Ric
