Remove /lib/modules for old kernel?

I upgraded to Debian 2.2 and consequently I'm using kernel 2.2.17. However, after updating I noticed that the /lib/modules/2.0.36/ hierarchy is still on my machine along with the new /lib/modules/2.2.17 hierarchy. Can I safely remove the old modules? Marc.

Essentially, you can use just Lilo by itself, or you can use both. If you could post contents of your /etc/lilo.conf, and a summary of your partitions (fdisk -l), it might be easier to see what the problem might be. Anyway, here's a quick comparison of the two as I understand them: Install-mb
