Tutorial : Ubuntu Old Kernel Versions - Be Gone!

Yay, the 1st video of my new segment, Ubuntu Is Easy! http://bit.ly/ijHATR In this tutorial I show you how to get rid of all of those extra boot menu entries that the system updater adds.

These aren't just menu entries, they're actually different versions of the kernel, the core of a Linux operating system, so they take up space on your hard drive. Watch to find out how to fix this problem, the easy way!

This video was produced on Linux and edited entirely using open source programs! Thanks Wayne Tedder for my Blender made penguin outtro : http://www.youtube.com/user/deathguppie

Why does Ubuntu keep the old kernel versions?  When I used Ubuntu, only using apt-get I never had more than two kernel versions, just as with any other distro. Are you sure this isn't something that's just in your configuration?

@oberonhotmail ... works on my end. Though the last real core Ubuntu release I used was 10.04. Then I switched to mainly use Linux Mint as I started to not like vanilla Ubuntu. They may have changed it since I last used it.

Is there a way to make it so it will skip the dual boot menu unless I hold down a key? I know I could change the boot menu time to 5 seconds or so, but I'd rather not do that, I just want to get rid of the menu unless I need it. I don't use Ubuntu unless I'm troubleshooting and can't get into Windows, and it's annoying that the boot menu pops up after every restart.
