[KLUG Members] kernel up...now to clean up

[Richard Harding]

Ok, I have the new 2.6.6 kernel all up and running. I want to clean up 
some of the old stuff however. I still have images and grub set up for 
my old 2.6.6 kernel and the initial 2.4 kernel from when I installed 
Debian.

If I clear out the grub menu and remove the kernel images is there 
anything else I need to clean? I see in /lib/modules there is
2.4.25-1-386  2.6.6  2.6.62.6.6  modprobe.conf  modprobe.conf.old

The other project is that now that this kernel boots I want to try to 
get the ipw2100 driver working for the centrino wireless. I had started 
that before this, but I am still learning how all this kernel/modules 
mess fits together and somehow I ended up putting the hostap drivers in 
that 2.6.62.6.6 folder in the lib/modules. I don't get it. Why are 
things going there? Shouldn't they be in the 
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless directory of my kernel tree?

I am thinking I should start over from scratch and I want to backup my 
current kernel config and remove all of the files I have been working on 
(hostap-source, kernel-source, and the ipw2100 source files). I am 
afraid of breaking my current kernel though by removing things in this 
lib/modules as well as I am not sure where the 2.6.6.2.6.6 came from.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Rick
