...th the source for a yum applet. I know I can build this for myself, but I was wondering what others on this list think and whether such an applet should be more widely available to the general CentOS audience. Can I go ahead and build this for my system? TIA for your answers. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

...success. The funny thing is that an app such as gedit does print. (I'm guessing it's because gedit uses some sort of a2ps -> lpr combination). I have an Epson Stylus C82 connected via a USB cable and my system is running CUPS. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks so much. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

....99) that includes a spec file which I can certainly use to build an rpm. (Mind you, I just don't want to "break" my system or anything like that, although I would really like to get some use out of this webcam). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

Is it possible to install el3 packages on CentOS 4? I'm wondering because there are some packages on dag (for example ac3dec) that are built for el3 and not for el4. Is it better to rebuild the source rpm? Thanks. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

Hi all. Can anyone help me with scheduling tasks? I'm running Centos4.2 (updated via yum starting from 4.0). I know I have vixie-cron and anacron packages installed (came like that, from first install, I guess). I read the crontab syntax man page (man 5 crontab) and I made an entry as a normal user (using crontab -e) that looks like the following: 30 0 9 1 1 /bin/ls -F /home/jose >

Hi. I'm fairly new with CentOS but have been using version 4.2 with great satisfaction (Thank you!). I've been using repos such as Dag and Dries successfully to keep my packages up to date. (I've seen many posts which allow me to believe that these repos won't change CentOS compatibility to RHEL4 or to migrate it another distro for that matter!) My question applies to the

Hi. I just have a quick question that maybe some of you might know. I'm thinking of compiling a new kernel (kernel 2.6.12.2) for my system which is running CentOS 4 (updated to 4.1 using yum). I downloaded the kernel tarball and read in the docs that for stability gcc 2.95.x (x>=3) might be best to compile the new kernel. With an "rpm -q gcc" command I see that I have

...(*.mp3) files (I had to recompile sox for this to work), but not ogg files. On another note, I take it that recompilation of the sox source rpm (with libmad-devel and lame-devel rpms installed) is the "right" way of making sox support mp3 format. Am I wrong? Thanks. Sincerely Jose Alburquerque

Really quickly: Would anyone know how I might add a crontab entry via a script (bash)? I'm attempting to write one to schedule commands at certain times. Is this possible? Thanks. -Jose

Hi. I mostly use my system as a super-user and so I can mostly do everything without worrying too much about permissions. Not too long ago I created a "general" user account which is automatically logged in after a few seconds for others to have (limited) access to the system. Mostly everything works (ie. CD/DVD writing, sound, floppy access, etc.) But when it comes to printing, only

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me a little help trying to figure something out: I presently am running CentOS4.1 with GNOME as my desktop (It runs quite well, I must say!). I just have a little curiosity: I have a few audio files (.wav, .mp3 and .ogg) and I like to "preview" them. When run my mouse over the .wav files (and mp3 files) the

Hi. I'm trying to use CentOS4.2 for some audio work (ie. sound editing, etc.). I found a site called PlanetCCRMA (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/) and decided that I would give some of their applications a try (hoping that it would not affect my system greatly!). At first I tried the Fedora 3 packages (and they do work), but what I really wanted to do is to download the
