list looks lot see in boot menu, , selecting latest version boots ubuntu fine.
i'm guessing should create file menu.lst, don't want screw things up, thought i'd ask experts advice how should proceed. suggestions appreciated.
thanks.

use synaptic delete old kernels.
save latest , 1 before it.
make sure not delete latest kernel.
