Hi,
How do I remove old kernels with yum??
If I do a..
# yum list "kernel*"
I get..
Installed Packages

kernel-smp.i686 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 installed
kernel-utils.i386 1:2.4-13.1.49_FC3 installed
So if I try..
# yum remove kernel.i686
it wants to remove all of them..
I have tried specifying the version a couple of ways but then it doesn't
find anything to remove..
So how do I do it?
Use rpm instead of yum:
# rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-1.667 kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667 ...
