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
