Its part of yum-utils in Fedora Extras which is enabled by default from 
FC4 onwards. To enable the repository for FC3 see 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras. Fedora development version and FC5 
(when available) has a installonlyn yum plugin written by Fedora 
developers to only retain 2 kernels by default. Also the installer now 
only installs either the SMP kernel or the uniprocessor kernel as 
appropriate for the system. Earlier versions used to install both and 
set the default as appropriate since the UP only provided a fallback for 
SMP regression. Such regressions are now not common anymore to warrant that.

Rahul
