The only thing that makes this tricky is that you can?t just say ?rpm -e kernel?
because there is more than one ?kernel? package installed.? You need to know the
exact package name.

Does the centos-plus repo deal out kernels?

?I had some books on Unix when I started with Slackware. I downloaded it over
Ftp from MIT, I believe it was Slackware 0.8. (maybe 1.0). It came on about 25
floppy disks and (with a 300baud modem) I could only do about two a night.?I
believe I got in trouble this time while building a centos7 partition. I had
some problems getting the music to play and I went back and forth between
centos6 and centos7 to see what packages I need (Centos6 was working fine).?I
think my initial problem was that Rpmforge doesn't have centos7.
Thanks for the help. Centos6 and centos7 are now working fine (except 7 only
boots about every other try- which I am still working on - I think the bios boot
my Hard drives in somewhat random order and I haven't been able to come up
with the proper system map -- or it may be a mixup with two SATA drives and an
IDE. Pulling the power plug on the IDE drive fixes it.) I will go back to
lurking.
