With this message -- and I'm sorry to say that -- you have entered the next level in my procmailrc: /dev/null instead of ./trash folder. Congratulations! Few people so far have managed to achieve that. Usually I give trolls a 2nd chance. As earlier with the sort of neverending GRUB thread, you are just plain misinformed about proper usage of RPM with regard to kernel packages. Kernel source and binary kernel are in two completely separate packages. Never would erasing a kernel package remove the source package. > The person who started the thread > did expressly say that he used RHN and /boot was full.

So, using RPM to erase the installed RPM packages is fully correct. > unless the full consequences are known > and that is what I told him. You didn't even try to tell him. Instead you demonstrate misconception about using kernel packages. Using RPM has the only risk that you can remove the currently running kernel which would not be appreciated if you wanted a guaranteed clean shutdown. > I didn't say don't use it. Before you > guys started recommending using rpm to remove a kernel remember that > redhat doesn't do that itself and it could. *lol* They do. See my earlier message. Certainly, they [Red Hat] do not recommend leaving old kernel packages in the RPM database and delete files manually. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/RpZc0iMVcrivHFQRAnLmAJ9XNmv8kcFXb0y/egtysZjLgnx/bACeNUzl Ke2PZHxK8Y+3r1N/3blDNfg= =I0X9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
