How to set number of old kernels to keep?

When updating kernels with yum, the system keeps a certain number of old kernels and deletes the rest. Can someone tell me how to set this number of kernels to keep?

I am running Fedora 11.

Thanks in advance.

In the file /etc/yum.conf there is a line that reads installonly_limit=x where x is the number of kernels to keep.
