yum update
keeps several kernel versions installed at the same time by default (installonly_limit).So,
bento/centos-6.9
image v201803.24.0 has two installed kernels:kernel-2.6.32-696.el6.x86_64
andkernel-2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64
.Removal of the unused one would reduce the image size by about 50 megs.
The proposal is to delete via
package-cleanup
fromyum-utils
, which probably should take care forkernel-uek
in the Oracle Linux.Alternative approach could be direct manipulation:
bento/centos-6.9 v201803.24.0 kernels
