-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello redhat-list,
Since installing RH 7.1, I've updated the kernel using the GUI-style update utility about three times. I have not done an exhaustive study, but it appears that when updating to a new kernel version, most of the previous kernel version's material (source, documentation, etc.) goes away in favor of the material related to the new version. Is that correct? The previous kernel version remains in /boot, and the update process modifies the LILO configuration to make it accessible. Other than the /boot material, is any "residue" from replaced kernels left on the system that should be cleaned out once the new kernel is determined to be working OK? I am assuming that the /boot material for replaced kernels can simply be deleted at some point, and the extra LILO configuration entries that match them deleted. Right? Any guidelines as to when that can be done? When I administered UNIX systems, I'd keep one prior bootable kernel hanging around indefinitely and nothing older. Is that considered a good plan in Linux, too? Thanks. Ron. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.8 Comment: The last PGP with full source disclosure. iQA/AwUBO+wEDG8pw+2/9pUJEQJ+oACg/cHaaGuANxmzB/Nj4h1HsMaRrtkAnjKO RqsLsi7uZLYsxuilFetxL52o =bJFD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
