I tend to keep at least three to four kernels. That allows me to test things that I may not have noticed, later on, as well as revert back a few stages should I encounter a fault. Having several kernels installed only seems to make it a bit slower to do yum update (more dependencies to calculate). And users more drive space, obviously. I don't notice any other drawbacks. I'd do updates when they come through, and just remove older ones afterwards if they were a dismal failure, or when I had enough alternatives to work around any other problems. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
