|    Retaining old kernels    |

      From: laidlaws@hotkey.net.au              This is probably not the place, but here goes.              When a new kernel is installed in any distro, it is wise       to retain the previous kernel for a while, just in case       the new kernel crashes something. Mageia, following       its origin, Mandriva, retains all kernels not specifically       uninstalled. One user found that his boot directory was       choc-a-block with old kernels, giving "disk full" errors.              Last night a new kernel came down for Suse. There were       already two kernels present, so I expected to have to       uninstall the oldest one. But the distro did it for me.       I ended up with only two kernels installed, again. A good       compromise.              Doug.       --              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
