Is your suggestion to edit the "installonly_limit" value? If yes, is my
current setting (3) of that value sufficient?
I up mine to about 5. That way if there's a flurry of kernel updates
(which has happened in the past) and one or more of them cause me a
problem, I'll still have an older one to rely on.
The installonly limit affects *any* package that installs alongside
previous installs, rather than as an upgrade that replaces it (how most
updated program packages are handled). It doesn't only affect kernel
installations.
