I'm running the most recent kernel available, and I've never had a
problem with any past kernels, so I don't believe there's any reason
to keep all of them.  I guess kernels get a fresh install instead of
an upgrade?  Can I safely rpm-e the old kernel packages?  Should this
be something I do through yum instead?

I'm not really sure of the correct method, but I've gotten into the habit of using rpm -e. I usually keep the current kernel plus the previous one and dump the rest.

Best,
