When I request that synaptic install a new kernel, at the same time I remove the old version. Grub and the /lib directory subtree are cleaned up automagically. OK, I know it's rpm that does the dirty deed under the covers, but synaptic makes it a lot easier to manage multiple kernel versions in a consistent fashion.
I installed the latest fc3 kernel and would like to get rid of the old one to save disk space; does anyone know how to do that?

to list all the kernels installed do:
[jeff@eye_gore ~]$ rpm -qa kernel kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 kernel-2.6.9-1.667
To erase the one you want removed do:
[jeff@eye_gore ~]$ su -c "rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-1.667" Password: [jeff@eye_gore ~]$
Repeat for each kernel version to remove.
As someone has already said it has been discussed several times, but for
this use, rpm is much nicer than yum.
