My system, for example, has kernel *and* kernel-smp for each kernel release. However, I've never seen it use the regular one, only the smp. So, is there *any* good reason to keep the regular (not -smp) kernel around? or is it safe to remove those too? For example, I have: >rpm -qa | grep kernel-2 ; rpm -qa | grep kernel-sm kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 >uname -r 2.6.10-1.770_FC3smp So, is there a reason to keep: kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 and kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ? (Of course, I keep the kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.766_FC3. ) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gustavo Seabra Graduate Student Chemistry Dept.
