</div>probably no one has ever added the 'remove the old kernel manually' step<br>
since removing kernels can be fraught with peril, and hey, it's only disk<br>
space.<br>
<br>
go ahead and remove the old files, if you're confident.<br></blockquote><div><br>"fraught with peril" - sounds like good clean fun :-)<br><br>But, seriously, with all the extra space on 883 without the DRI stuff, it may be more trouble than it's worth.<br>
