I don't know about doing that directly, but it's possible indirectly. Set the kernels to be ignored/excluded in your YUM configuration (see man yum.conf so you don't get any mistakes from me trying to explain it). And subscribe to the fedora-package-announce list. You'll get e-mails about what's being updated, with information about the packages. And you can selectively install kernels when you want to. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
