Ah... Useless use of grep category ;-)
Much faster (esp. if on older hardware):
# rpm -q kernel kernel-smp kernel-hugemem kernel-devel
kernel-2.6.9-11.EL
kernel-2.6.9-22.EL
kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL
package kernel-smp is not installed
package kernel-hugemem is not installed
package kernel-devel is not installed
# rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-11.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.EL
And you are done... Basically, it is the same as removing any other
package. The rpm command can accept as argument either just a package
name (kernel) or
package name and version (kernel-2.6.9-11.EL).
If you type only "rpm -e kernel", you'll get error message telling you
more than
one version of the package matches. There's an option '--allmatches'
to remove
all versions, but you do not want to use it in this case (you need at
least one
version of kernel installed).
