Is there some simple way of setting yum to save previous versions of the kernel so that I can go back easily when new kernels cause problems? more than the two default, say maybe 5?
Been answered many times on this list. I went back through my cache of GMail and found an old message regarding this subject. Here's a snippet:
"As you know, FC4 doesn't have this.
In FC5, there is a /etc/yum/pluginconf.d directory and a installonlyn.conf file:
[main] enabled=1 # this sets the number of package versions which are kept tokeep=2
Fairly obviously, changing 1 to 0 will disable the plugin, and changing 2 to (say) 5 will mean you keep that many more kernels."
By the way, you might make use of the FAQ at Fedora Forums or Google Search.
