purging packages

Hi all,

can yum purge packages? For example by using yum to update the kernel, you end up with multiple versions of the kernel package, ie, the previous version is kept.

While I agree with keeping the previous kernel just to make sure everything works fine, instead of manually removing the old kernel, can I tell yum to remove all versions of a specific package except for the latest version?

Thanks
