Hello, David
My yum.conf has the following line:
installonly_limit=2
I Google'd for installonly_limit=2 and I found the following:
http://www.accessgrid.org/node/1016
The section under the heading "More than 2 kernels when yum updating"
seems to talk about exactly what you want to do. So, I would assume
that you would need a line in your "yum.conf" file something like this:
installonly_limit=4
