Thanks Bob & all others who have responded.

This is what I did:

rm -rf /boot/vmlinux-of-kernels-that-I-wanted-to-remove
rm -rf /boot/intramfs/initrd-of-kernels-that-I-wanted-to-remove
rm -rf /boot/System_maps-of-kernels-that-I-wanted-to-remove
rm -rf /lib/modules/kernel-that-I-wanted-to-remove

and that appears to remove the kernels :)

I wonder what has changed/happened, before I could trim kernels from kernel.org a little bit, but now they are bigger and bigger even than Fedora's :(, Tried building a kernel seed according to 

http://www.kernel-seeds.org/working.html

Kernel took longer to boot than usual, and many files linux.h were missing to build modules against it.  I have built kernels before, and *am wondering what is happening* now?

Regards,

Antonio
