I have a custom kernel installed to run VMWare. I've now switched to
virtual box and want to get rid of the custom kernel.
# dpkg -r linux-image-2.6.31.6-custom
resulted in the following rather intimidating message.
<quote>
You are running a kernel (version 2.6.31.6-custom) and attempting to
remove the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not
only will /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-custom be removed, making it impossible
to boot it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to
boot a new kernel), it will also remove all modules under the directory
/lib/modules/2.6.31.6-custom. Just having a copy of the kernel image is
not enough, you will have to replace the modules too.
I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt, answer Yes. If you
know exactly what you are doing, and are prepared to hose your system,
then answer No.
Do you want to abort removal now?

Does anybody have a suggestion as to what I SHOULD do?
There are other standard kernel images installed.
thanks....
David.
