Useless use of grep category ;-) Much faster (esp. if on older hardware): # rpm -q kernel kernel-smp kernel-hugemem kernel-devel kernel-2.6.9-11.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL package kernel-smp is not installed package kernel-hugemem is not installed package kernel-devel is not installed # rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-11.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.EL And you are done... Basically, it is the same as removing any other package. The rpm command can accept as argument either just a package name (kernel) or package name and version (kernel-2.6.9-11.EL). If you type only "rpm -e kernel", you'll get error message telling you more than one version of the package matches. There's an option '--allmatches' to remove all versions, but you do not want to use it in this case (you need at least one version of kernel installed). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
