Use rpm to install the kernel package(s) that you want, e.g. "rpm -ivh kernel-xyz kernel-devel-xyz". [Download package for local install or install directly from the internet, e.g. rpm -ivh url_of_package.] 2. Restart and boot the kernel that you want to keep 3. Remove the kernel, kernel-headers, and kernel-doc, etc. that you do not want. 4. Use yum to install/upgrade kernel packages. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
