Um...I beg to differ. I'm not an expert (yet! *grin*) but I can do an 'ls' with the best of them. *smile* I don't manually compile kernels, as I a nervous about messing stuff up, so I only update with up2date. I use the gui version that runs on Gnome to do this. I just went into my /boot, and when I do an 'ls', I see six separate kernels and their attendant files. I don't currently have a problem with that, since I am only using 36% of the /boot partition, but in a few more revisions I'll probably get around to deleting a few of them with the help of previous posts. It seems to me that Up2date *does* let kernels collect in /boot, or I wouldn't have six complete sets. ;) Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
