Try it -- what could possibly go wrong? :)

I'm serious -- yum will prompt you first since it's a package removal, and you'll get to review what it's going to do. (And I'll dispell any suspense
-- yes, it'll work.)

Oh, Matthew, I am an ignorant, that is true, but not that much! :-)

I know that 'yum remove kernel' will remove kernels, but I was not
sure whether that procedure entails a complete removal, as I took,
some time ago, the following note from this list:

package-cleanup --oldkernels

Paul

if you must remove the uniprocessor kernel ... then do

"rpm -qa | grep kermel"

this will list all kernel packages installed ...

then rpm -e lernel-xx.rpm .... where the one you want to remove is listed exactly

personally i wouldnt bother ... systems have so much disk space these days that 30 megs means nothing .... but ... if you want ... this is how to do it :)

cheers and beers
