I'm trying to install kernel-2.2.16-3 'cause it's the latest rh 6.x supported kernel -- but there are 2 instances. How can I get rid of one?

# rpm -q kernel-2.2.16-3
kernel-2.2.16-3
kernel-2.2.16-3

tried but neither worked:
# rpm -e kernel-2.2.16-3.i686.rpm
error: package kernel-2.2.16-3.i686.rpm is not installed
# rpm -e kernel-2.2.16-3
error: "kernel-2.2.16-3" specifies multiple packages

Try the first command without '.rpm' at the end.

Thanks the command I was looking for was:
# rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps kernel-2.2.16-3

C I do RTFM ;-)
