Removing kernel-image-2.6.8-3-386 ...

  You are running a kernel (version 2.6.8-3-386) and attempting to remove
  the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only
  will /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-3-386 be removed, making it impossible to boot
  it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to boot
  a new kernel), it will also remove all modules under the directory
  /lib/modules/2.6.8-3-386. Just having a copy of the kernel image is not
  enough, you will have to replace the modules too.

    I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt, answer
    no. If you know exactly what you are doing, and are prepared to
    hose your system, then answer Yes.
