Supposedly, you could do something like: echo "kernel-4.17.3-200" >/etc/dnf/protected.d/kernel.conf That's supposed to make sure dnf doesn't remove that package. Note that the "kernel" package is really a meta package that includes the kernel-core, kernel-modules and whatnot. I've never relied on this bit of dnf magic, but it's supposed to work. I just tested it on a VM by "protecting" an old kernel and it seemed to work (that kernel wasn't removed, even though it was old). Your mileage may vary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/FQZXEAX7WD22Q6XN5IAJ2GSP3R3UNTR2/
