Make sure you're running with either the 2.6.11-1.27 or 2.6.11-1.27smp 
kernel:

$ uname -r

That will tell you which kernel you're using.

Then remove the old ones:

# rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-1.667 kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667

That'll leave you with one uniprocessor and one SMP kernel, which should 
be OK. You might also want to remove openoffice.org if you've not got 
around 2GB of free space in /usr

# yum remove openoffice.org

You can add the new FC4 openoffice.org packages in post-installation:

# yum install openoffice.org-writer openoffice.org-calc

etc.
