Hello,

Now that I have successfully upgraded my kernel via yum can I remove the
old kernel via yum ? In other words can I simply do a

"# yum remove "kernel-2.6-18"

or are there any additional steps I need to take care to do ?

Yeah, I guess that will work. I just use rpm:

rpm -e kernel-2.6-18

That said, I always keep the previous kernel around in case some
disaster strikes the new kernel, which, of course, hasn't happened,
... yet.

Heheheheheh!

Normally yum only keeps two versions of each kernel anyway. That's
what the "tokeep=2" does in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf.
If you want to keep more, then change it to whatever you want.

OK thanks... I didn't know that. For now I'll just leave it as is.
There's enough room and I don't mind keeping the old version around.

'Tis always a good thing to keep at least one old kernel around...just
in case something evil happens.
