This feature can be fine tuned to retain more or less kernels or disabled entirely through the `/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf` file. There are other plugins and utilities available as part of `yum-utils` package in Fedora Extras software repository. You can install them using the following command. {{{ - - yum install yum-utils + yum install yum-utils - }}} @@ -90, +88 @@ The {{{fstab-sync}}} facility has been removed. In Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]], the {{{fstab-sync}}} program is removed in favor of desktop specific solutions for mounting removable media. Entries for hotplug devices or inserted media are no longer automatically added to the `/etc/fstab` file.
