I've just Dist-Upgrade to kernel 2.6.28-14.How to get rid of previous kernels?

[Milos Mandaric]

This is probably not the best way, but I do it like this:

To check installed kernel packages:
  cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep Ubuntu | grep -v recovery

To uninstall every kernel package except 2.6.28-14 :
  sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.28-1[^4].*
