Yes. The method I use is:
First, make darn sure you know which version you're running. Do not
install the current version.
$ uname -a
$ rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | sort
Remove older versions that you know you won't need. If you're running
an smp kernel, you can be fairly brutal about removing the non-smp
kernels. I typically keep the current kernel and the one before that.
Older than that I've been removing unless I have a really good reason to
keep them around.
If you're running RHEL, don't forget to do an $ up2date -p to update
your profile with RHN.
