Description Marcello Anni 2011-04-20 17:20:42 CEST 
hi,

is there something we can do to remove all the unused kernels and let only mageia one?

cheers,
Marcello
Comment 1 Ahmad Samir 2011-04-20 19:24:09 CEST 
Yes:
su
urpme $(urpmq --auto-orphans | grep kernel)

(just in case you don't want to remove all the orphans, which isn't recommended if you don't examine the list urpme wants to remove as orphans carefully). Anyway, always examine the list of packages carefully when using --auto-orphans (and _always_ make sure the task-* of your DE is installed).

thanks ahmad, but i know how to remove unused kernels. i'm asking if it can be done automatically, for a newbie or a medium-expertise user this task can be difficult to be done (this is important also because we adress to a large market), other than ugly.

cheers,
Marcello

If I understand correctly, this concerned upgrade from mandriva to mageia. It's too late (unfortunately), so I'm going to close this request.
