Hello, David My yum.conf has the following line: installonly_limit=2 I Google'd for installonly_limit=2 and I found the following: http://www.accessgrid.org/node/1016 The section under the heading "More than 2 kernels when yum updating" seems to talk about exactly what you want to do. So, I would assume that you would need a line in your "yum.conf" file something like this: installonly_limit=4 Steven P. Ulrick
