I am currently running Red Hat Linux 7.1 i386 as a
web/mail server for our
local users group. I currently have the following Kernel-* Packages
installed.
kernel-2.4.18-17.7.x
kernel-2.4.18-18.7.x kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x kernel-2.4.2-2 kernel-2.4.9-21 kernel-2.4.9-31 kernel-2.4.9-34 kernel-headers-2.4.9-34 Up2date has another Kernel Package that is
available.
kernel-2.4.18-27.7.x
However, I do not have enough Disk Space to install
packages on the / partition.

Such as these: kernel-2.4.2-2 kernel-2.4.9-21 kernel-2.4.9-31 kernel-2.4.9-34 It makes sense to keep a couple of the previous
versions just in case something goes wrong.
If so is it recommended to do this through RPM or
Up2Date?
If it is not safe to remove the previous kernels
does anyone have any
ideas on how to resolve this problem? Note: I have all of the other up2date upgrade/patch
packages installed.
So I am current with the exception of this Kernel Update. Thank You Robert Love |
