yum removing old kernels?

As you know, FC4 doesn't have this.

In FC5, there is a /etc/yum/pluginconf.d directory and a
installonlyn.conf file:

[main]
enabled=1
# this sets the number of package versions which are kept
tokeep=2

Fairly obviously, changing 1 to 0 will disable the plugin, and changing
2 to (say) 5 will mean you keep that many more kernels.

Hope this helps,

James.
