Kernel upgrade question (no replies)

Long time since I've been tinkering with Pogo boxes, but I'm working through the steps to upgrade the the latest kernel on my pogoplug v4 (mobile). I want to update the kernel so that I can boot my SD card from the SD card slot. I'm currently booting from a USB > SD card adapter.

I've downloaded the tarball from dropbox, confirmed the hash.

I have created a backup of my current boot directory.

I am stuck at not understanding if I should clear anything out of the /boot directory before I extract the tarball. I assume it should be downloaded to, and extracted within /boot, but that will leave all of the old 6.5.7 files in /boot if I don't manually remove them (which was not mentioned in the steps).

It feels like a real noob questions to ask, but should I leave the old 6.5.7 files behind, remove them in advance, or remove them after I complete the steps in the guide?

Thanks for any clarification for my foggy brain!
