Before installing the kernel the existing is copied to /boot/kernel.old 
(check before) so you can delete /boot/kernel and restore the old to get 
your old system back.

Then start cleaning up your disk. I can't give any specific suggestions 
as I have no idea of your partitioning. places like /root and /tmp may 
be good to start with.

Cheers, Erik
