kernels

[Verde Denim]

I happened to be looking through my test box running 11 this morning, and
got curious about the structure of /boot and grub.
In looking at my 10.10 laptop, I noticed that I currently have 7 kernel
images there, which include a set of files prefixed with abi-<release>. I've
not seen these before and don't know why they are there.
I then looked in the grub directory and, somewhat to my surprise, could find
no place to edit the grub menu.

I know things have changed somewhat, so I looked in synaptic to see if all
of those kernels were marked as 'installed' and, sure enough, they are.
(there is also a kernel there that is one version ahead of the one I
currently have, but the updater has not flagged it as an upgrade as of yet).

Is the preferred method of clearing up the grub menu and associated kernel
images to use synaptic and 'mark for removal' ?

I'm currently running 2.6.32-31-generic on my laptop, and want to save 30
and 31, but remove clean up the rest.

Thanks as always for the input.

Regards

Jack
