Hi Lads n' lasses

Trying to open up some space in my rootfs I found my /boot had a bunch of stuff in it, and I'm not sure what Is current and what is old (it had some old NitDroid kernels and an old power37, which I could delete, but this stuff still confuses me)

Code:
Nokia-N900-51-1:~# ls -l /boot
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1032 Jan  1  1970 multiboot
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1746048 Jul  9 14:23 vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1
-rw-r--r--    2 root     root      1832740 Aug 10 08:34 zImage-2.6.28-maemo40
Nokia-N900-51-1:~# ls -l /boot/multiboot
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1747632 Aug 17 17:37 vmlinuz-2.6.28-omap1
-rw-r--r--    2 root     root      1832740 Aug 10 08:34 vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power40
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      1741836 Aug 10 13:10 vmlinuz-2.6.28.NIT.06
Nokia-N900-51-1:~#
There seems to be kernels both in /boot and /boot/multiboot, and I'm not sure what is used or not.... also the power40 kernel has both a "zimage" and a "vmlinuz" variant... are both used?

Sorry, not a linux kernel guru
