The package-cleanup command from yum-utils can help with that: <br> <br><pre> <br>yum install yum-utils <br>package-cleanup --oldkernels <br></pre>
@pirlow: You could, just make certain that you aren’t removing the kernel that you are using. “package-cleanup --oldkernels” does some basic sanity checks to keep you from running into trouble.
