remove kernels no longer needed; listed above

yum remove kernel |
automated:
By default CentOS will keep last 5 kernels installed on your system. This behavior is defined by installonly_limit=5
line within /etc/yum.conf
file. Update the /etc/yum.conf
configuration file appropriately to keep desired number of old kernels on your system after update. The minimum value to be set is 2
.
Example of /etc/yum.conf
configuration file to keep only last two kernel versions:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
