kernel build afterward clean-up

[BdclrzktUv]

i upgraded my fedora 16 from 3.2.7.1 to 3.3.3

i tried the rpm way and then the simple download kernel compile, install way. i found the rpm way a bit awkward.

now i'd like to grab some disk space back.

is it safe to just remove the /grub/vmlinuz, etc., not being used along with each related /usr/src/kernel/<version> not being used?

the one time i used the rpm way to install new kernel, is there a rpm way to zap the files it installed? **i'm not using that kernel.

and, i guess edit out, using grub tools, a few "menuentry" in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

How much is disk space is being used? May be post your df -k output.

I would make sure that the /boot/vmlinuz*, do you know the exact kernel you are using?
