Right, gotit, thanks. I deduce from what I see that 14.04 automatically uninstalls (or at least makes available for autoremoving) all except the current and previous kernel, and all that is left is the conf files for previous versions. Thus (if I am correct) there should no longer be any need to worry about old kernels, which is great.
