When you install updated kernels, they're added to the system, and previously installed kernels are kept. The newest one will be at the top of the list. This allows you to work around a problem with a kernel, if you have one, by booting up with one that worked previously. And on that note, I recommend keeping more than the default two or three kernels, just in case some problem sneaks in that takes you a while to notice. The more options you have to test with, the better. You can change the number of kernels that will be kept from within the /etc/yum.conf file. There'll be an installonly_limit line like this "installonly_limit=3" somewhere in that file, or you can add it if there isn't one. On my system, I bumped it up to 6. That gives me plenty of things to test problems against, and doesn't waste too much space and updating time. The more kernels you keep, the more time yum takes to figure out dependencies, etc., when you do a "yum update". -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
