Same here, I rpm -e all kernel-* rpms except the most recent two.
I've never had a problem with it.

I am currently running Red Hat Linux 7.1 i386 as a web/mail server for our

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.

Is it safe to remove the previous kernels?
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
