Otherwise one day you may fill it up before number of kernels will be such that kernel update will remove oldest kernel. And _we_ called Windows 2000 "bloated pig" when it was released... Sigh.

I think in 1989 we were complaining about BSD not being able to fit on our VAX 750's boot drive anymore and we needed to put in a 40MB drive system instead. I expect by the 2040's we will be looking at petabyte drives and wondering how we can fit anything on it.> Valeri > > > > > > >> mark > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> CentOS mailing list > >> CentOS at centos.org > >> https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >> > > > > > > -- > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > Valeri Galtsev > Sr System Administrator > Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics > Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics > University of Chicago > Phone: 773-702-4247 > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Stephen J Smoogen.
