Hi I keep Fedora Up to date using the Update Tool. Fine. However I now find I have a number of Kernels. I can "comment" them out on the bootloader, no problem. (No real risk if I screw up, either). However in /boot each kernel appears to have 4 files, Config, initrid, system.map and vmlinux. Do I just delete them all (in / boot) apart from the 4 which refer to my current kernel? (Real risk If I screw up). Thanks Peter
Hi Peter, from the command line, as root, type rpm -q kernel you will get a list of installed kernels I suggest you keep the current kernel, and the next oldest (as a backup). To remove the others, you must type rpm -e kernel-x.x-x where the x is the numbers as shown in the rpm -q command. For example I currently have 3 kernels installed [smoker@xxxx smoker]$ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.9-1.11_FC2 kernel-2.6.10-1.8_FC2 kernel-2.6.10-1.9_FC2 [smoker@xxxx smoker]$ to remove the oldest kernel, I would type rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-1.11_FC2 and hit enter. This will automatically remove the corresponding entry from the grub boot menu too. regards alan -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
