This is probably bad to keep _only_ the latest (you have no backup if your kernel gets hosed). This said, a combination of 'installonlypkgs' and 'installonly_limit' in your yum.conf should do the trick (assuming you 'yum'). > b) How much space is being used up by storing N versions of parts > of the OS, and can that be avoided too ? Hmm there's not many things which aren't replaced, it's pretty much limited to the kernel and it's associated libraries (as one package, normally), and if you have the source packages installed then those too. -- Best regards, Andy mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
