In FC5, there is a /etc/yum/pluginconf.d directory and a installonlyn.conf file: [main] enabled=1 # this sets the number of package versions which are kept tokeep=2 Fairly obviously, changing 1 to 0 will disable the plugin, and changing 2 to (say) 5 will mean you keep that many more kernels. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | And the cuckoo isn't cooing, @westexe.demon.co.uk | But he's cucking and he's ooing, | And a Pooh is simply pooh-ing | Like a bird. -- 'Noise', by Pooh
