I'll just say I can only keep one old kernel and not go into the details.
FYI: dnf update will never remove the kernel that you are currently running.

I currently have two kernels on this f39 workstation:
* 6.9.12, and
* 6.10.4.
I do not have space for another.
If I understand things correctly, the rpmfusion nvidia package that I need for 6.10.xx is now available.
My lesser question: Am I correct?
If the answer to the lesser question is "yes", then here's my greater question:
Should I:
A. boot into 6.9.12, and then do the "dnf upgrade";
B. boot into 6.10.4, and then do the "dnf upgrade"; or
C. something else (what?)?
thanks,
Bill.
My f40 box is at present off, but runs 6.10.5 with 470xx. That is from the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates testing repo. So you need to enable that repo for f39. If you can then boot and run dnf in an x11 desktop, either of your suggestions ought to work, leaving you with the running kernel and the installed update.
After that, ensure that the akmods build process has completed before rebooting.

Barry's comment made me more comfortable doing the upgrade from the older kernel, so it would not be deleted. The upgrade worked. Thank-you John. By the way, no need for the testing repo.
I can't speak for Francois, but for me the issue is solved.
Bill.
