Deleting kernel files

[Ridgerunner]

I have been running my server for about a year now and I have been using Yum to update it regularly. I have been noticing that my boot file is starting to fill up. My question is, what and how should I delete in there?

Thanks
Ken

You can go in and remove all unused kernel files that are not pretinant to your current kernel Ie your older kerenel and initrid files.

however, I generally save my last two kernels that i have been happy with. It is nice to have at least one good known kernel to fall back on.

If room isnt a problem you can leave them as well

If you used you, just issue the following command "rpm -qa | grep kernel" and see what comes up. Once you have a list of kernels you want to remove you can issue the "rpm -e <name>" without the brackets. I list them so I can just select the kernel name and paste is after the rpm -e command. Some kernels are close in name and numbers, so make sure you do not remove your live kernel!
