When I first installed RH7.1 it was kernel-2.4.2-2.  I currently got
kernel-2.4.18-24.7.x.  I see lot of old stuff at  my
'/lib/modules/2.4.*''..
Is it okay to delete the old stuff?  Thanks.

Thanks for the post.  I was able to "clean-up my Lilo boot menu and
machine using the command.  I had about 3 different kernels still installed.
