TW: zypper dup : How may i prevent removal of previous kernels ?
{ in
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf
had uncommented "multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel)"
On next uncommented line following that one, do you have a line that looks anything like this?
multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running
but seems this no longer prevents removal of previous kernels. }
I believe it does but not point releases as: 4.7.0-1.1 4.7.0-1.2 4.7.0-1.3
at least it does for me on Tw.
Same here.
