I am trying to install the new kernel SMP update from Red Hat but my
/boot drive has less than 5MB left on it. It originally was configured
to have 99MB and has since run out of space.

There are a lot of files on this drive. Here is a small selection of
them:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1240137 Jul 30 22:39
vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1343256 Jul 30 22:31
vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL                         smp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1241318 Apr 21  2004
vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.EL
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1342168 Apr 21  2004
vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.ELsmp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1243818 Nov 24 17:49
vmlinuz-2.4.21-20.0.1.EL
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1243768 Aug 18 18:03
vmlinuz-2.4.21-20.EL
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1353783 Aug 18 17:56
vmlinuz-2.4.21-20.ELsmp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1236945 Oct  3  2003
vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1339556 Oct  3  2003
vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.ELsmp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1240218 Feb  9  2004
vmlinuz-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1339517 Feb  9  2004
vmlinuz-2.4.21-9.0.1.ELs                         mp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1238853 Apr 20  2004
vmlinuz-2.4.21-9.0.3.EL
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1338827 Apr 20  2004
vmlinuz-2.4.21-9.0.3.ELs                         mp

The question is, can any of these files be deleted? Are some of them
just temporary install files, which are no longer of any value?
Obviously some really important system files reside on this partition
which is why I am trying to be very careful about what I delete.

Is there a way to easily resize the partition? I have lots of space on
this drive; it's just that this partition was only made to be 100 MB.

Thanks in advance!
