I always bump mine up to about 6. I could easily install some kernel, and not encounter a bug in in for quite some time. Likewise with a prior kernel. Having more to backtrack through gives you more debugging options.
Mine was at 8, now it is at 18, so as long as I keep track I won't lose my important kernels. That wasn't my question. My question is how to protect 2 kernels from being erased. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
