I'm updating my Desktop and curious as to the reason for the huge difference in size, between the oldest kernel, which will be removed, and the newest one that will be installed. Question: Did they remove a lot of things from the kernel or rewrite it much more efficiently? TIA.
Installing: kernel i686 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 updates 15 M
Removing: kernel i686 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 installed 40 M
