Another feature I don't want!

What do I change to prevent yum from deleting them?

I prefer to control what my computer does and such things really bother 
me. 
I updated the kernel and it left me only one earlier one, deleted the rest!

I searched through the yum and yumex files and it's not obvious to me where
this is set. 

/etc/yumex.conf

Has a line "autocleanup = no"  set to "no" in response to a menu item I 
found but
I still don't find any saved rpm's.  With FC4 those rpm's were a 
resource I used
in other computers ...

Thanks.
