Hi,
Because I run my linux installation on "real" hardware as well as using VirtualBox I need manual control when old kernels (which have vbox extensions) are removed. Recently I tried to remove old kernel packages with dnf ("dnf remove kernel-4.1.3-201.fc22"), yet the files contained in this package are still in /boot:
[root@user-pc boot]# ls -la /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5968568 Jul 29 21:59 /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64
Any idea what could be going wrong here?
Thank you in advance, Clemens

Because those files belong to the package kernel-core. kernel is a meta package and contains no files.
HTH, Germán.
Hello Clemens,
Adding to what Germán already said you might be interested in checking the dnf configuration file, /etc/dnf/dnf.conf -- and look for this paramenter: installonly_limit=2
To learn about it: $ man dnf.conf
Cheers

A that explains it, thanks a lot :)
