Thanks for the suggestion. I was really looking for a solution where
the most recent two kernels could carry on updating as often as they
like, but the oldest one is somehow pinned to my system as a safety
net.

Currently I'm thinking I can manually remove the middle version. Then
when a new kernel is released, it won't hit my installed versions
limit and therefore won't delete the oldest one.

Rinse and repeat...

Cheers,

Dave...
