If there are many old kernels in there, you can probably remove the oldest
one(s) to make room for newer ones.
I've run into problems where the yum update didn't work because there wasn't
enough room in /boot; my notes for updating now include removing old kernels
first before running updates.

Well, if I just run audit2why again, it always tells me the same thing.

It says what it is my original post; that’s the output from audit2allow –w

I tried using that, and it still doesn’t automatically logout. In face, the

According to all of the documentation I can find, an /etc/printcap file
(or whatever filename is specified with the Printcap directive) is
generated by cupsd ever time a printer is added or removed. On all of my

I think we're all still confused.
If it's going to be headless and remotely administered, why do you want it

Try telling grub to swap the disks:
