I've got a Centos 4 box at work, where I noticed a pile of old kernels
lying around and no longer needed.
I did "rpm -qa | grep -y kernel > list" then edited the list to remove
from it the newer kernels, then "yum remove `cat list`". Yum has come
up with a list of 71 packages it wants to remove, even though there
were only 33 kernel-related RPMs in the list. this doesn't seem right
to me, as it is trying to remove a bunch of KDE files, net-snmp stuff,
freeradius, etc. I show the entire list below.
This certainly does NOT seem right to me. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Given that it wants to do this, I'm thinking I'd be better off to just do
"rpm -e `cat list`" instead.
