2.7.6 De-installing an old kernel package
The kernel-image-NNN.prerm script checks to see whether
the kernel you are currently running is the same as the kernel you are trying
to de-install. Therefore you can safely remove unwanted kernel image packages
using this command:
# dpkg --purge --force-remove-essential kernel-image-NNN
(Replace NNN with your kernel version and revision number, of
course.)
