Topic: kernel size

[magwm]

Hello, how is it that the kernels of the last update update are that much smaller than the installed ones?

 kernel                  i686       2.6.9-67.0.1.EL  installed          29 M
vs
 kernel                  i686       2.6.9-78.0.22.EL  smeupdates         12 M

Moving to General Discussion as it is more appropriate there.

Hello, how is it that the kernels of the last update update are that much smaller than the installed ones?

The kernels are taken from upstream (CentOS) and are not modified by SME Server developers. I am not sure why the size difference is there, perhaps the CentOS forums is a better place to ask.

Judging by the difference in version number you are a few updates behind as in the mean time we at least had the following kernels:

kernel-2.6.9-67.0.4.EL
kernel-2.6.9-67.0.7.EL
kernel-2.6.9-78.0.8.EL
kernel-2.6.9-78.0.13.EL
kernel-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL
