||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | We can specify how many Linux kernels are allowed to be installed at any one time. By default the amount of Linux kernels that can be installed at the same time is 5. If you already have 5 different versions of the Linux kernel installed and you perform a ‘yum update’ and install a newer kernel, the oldest kernel will be uninstalled to make room for the newest one. |
||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | This is done in the @/etc/yum.conf@ file as shown below. |
||
| 38 | <pre /etc/dnf/dnf.conf> |
||
| 39 | installonly_limit=6 |
