Hi,
Because I run my linux installation on "real" hardware as well as
using VirtualBox I need manual control when old kernels (which have
vbox extensions) are removed.
Recently I tried to remove old kernel packages with dnf ("dnf remove
kernel-4.1.3-201.fc22"), yet the files contained in this package are
still in /boot:
[root@user-pc boot]# ls -la /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5968568 Jul 29 21:59 /boot/vmlinuz-4.1.3-201.fc22.x86_64
Any idea what could be going wrong here?
Thank you in advance, Clemens
Because those files belong to the package kernel-core. kernel is a meta
package and contains no files.
