I mis-spoke a little... "Once Again" was in reference to the time long ago when the kernel naming scheme first caused so much grief. And, yes, I believe you are correct, it is rsync that did the deleting, it was just that this new kernel revision naming is not, I believe, in the perl script's vocabulary. The current kernel version was: kernel-2.4.21.0.pre3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm, and the prevous one was kernel-2.4.21.pre2.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm, which, as you can see, are comically over-specified, since none of the extra versioning will likely ever be incremented... such is life! :^) -C.S.
