[luau] Hard drive clean up questions

Aloha,

	I need to free up some space on my hard drive and I thought /usr/src might 
be a good place to start as it appears I have several versions of old kernel 
sources stored there.   I need some advice on what is safe to delete without 
screwing up the system references to libraries etc. 

Here is some info that you may find useful:

[ben at VALinux ben]$ uname -a
Linux VALinux.localhost.localdomain 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp #1 SMP Fri Mar 14 
05:52:30 EST 2003 i686 unknown

[ben at VALinux ben]$ ls -l /usr/src
total 16
drwxrwxr-x    3 root     root         4096 Sep  7  2001 kernel
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 May  5  2001 linux -> 
linux-2.2.18pre11
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         4096 Feb 22  2002 linux-2.2.18pre11
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Mar 22 01:36 linux-2.4 -> 
linux-2.4.18-27.7.x
drwxr-xr-x   17 root     root         4096 Mar 22 01:36 linux-2.4.18-27.7.x
drwxr-xr-x    7 root     root         4096 Feb 15  2002 redhat
[ben at VALinux ben]$

	If I delete the linux-2.2.18pre11 directory, do I need to relink /../linux 
to something else?  What other risks do I run in this clean up???

Thanks in advance,

Ben
