Fedora doesn't really target newbies but let's make sure the details are
understood.   Removing a kmod and a kernel doesn't make a system
unbootable.   If you prefer to, you can switchover to using akmod or set
yum to preserve more kernels by default or never remove older kernels at
all.  Look up /etc/yum.conf for that.
