-There is no command-line method for doing this with apt-get. I wanted to do this as I was installing a -27 kernel as well, and upon a successful reboot, I'd just remove the (outdated) -26 package.
+There is no command-line method for doing this with apt-get. I wanted to do this as I was installing a -27 kernel as well, and upon a successful reboot, I'd just remove the (outdated) -26 package. It is for this reason, and others that [Debian] have recommended using aptitude instead of apt. IanMcDonald strongly recommends using command line only for aptitude - the text GUI is awful and will probably trash your system (it did his once!). If you want a GUI tool use one provided with your distro such as Synaptic or with [Ubuntu] just use Add/remove programs in many cases
