Change "enabled=1" to "enabled=0" . Henceforth all kernels will be saved. You should be able to specify the number of kernels to save using "tokeep=x", but I saw that someone had a problem with that, so I'd just change "enabled=" to 0 Nigel.
Another sneakly yum enhancement. The installonlyn plug-in is no longer removable. In FC-6 you could do a "yum remove installonlyn". Not any more.
