Hi, Has any one know how to skip ix86 packages from installation in Centos kickstart? Most of our machines have 64bit Intel/AMD CPUs, and it make non-sense to still keep 32bit compatibility. Even worse of i*86 packages is, when upgrade we have to recompile both ix86 version and x86_64 version to get an automatic yum upgrade. I know we could use 'exclude' option to exclude i*86 packages

Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself? For example, if I have this: public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228 ... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following: $ ln releases/site-latest public_html I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected.

...37.7.i386.rpm in the CentOS4 x86_64 updates repo. It is listed in the security announcement: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-April/013658.html I see the 4 other i386 packages there: devel, deprecated-libs, Mesa-libGL, and Mesa-libGLU. Just the libs package is missing. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

...ogged in and the tty properly, but the field for the login date/time and the field for originating host contain all NULLs. Is anyone else seeing this same behavior, or have I just done something really stupid? I will not be able to use openssh if it doesn't log to utmp properly. :-( Thanks, Garrick James

Dear friends: Just installed Centos 5. Very impressed but as a newbie I am a bit confused about the the role of the Software Updater vs. Add/Remove and Yum(ex). Which one do I use to update the installed programs, please? Thank you. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin Sher sher07 at mindspring.com

I have weird problem. I'll try to build rpm-package from Brian Lane's Digitemp. Everything seems to go OK, but.....

Dear friends: Is there a single source for the multimedia applications that are not included with Centos 5: RealPlayer, Mplayer, mplayerplug-in, Acrobat Reader, Java, libdvdcss, etc.?

Dear friends: Using Centos 5. I have two physical drives. During install, I made sure to check hdb as well as hda. Both were listed as partitions (which is correct). But my fstab file does not show hdb. How do I make sure that hdb has been formatted and is part of my file system. If hdb is not formatted, how do I format it, please. Sorry for the question. I am a newbie. d[sher at localhost

...see where HAVE_REGEX_H is defined. It turns out it is defined in gssapi.h from an MIT krb5 1.4 install. Given that you are surprised that this macro is defined, is it safe to assume that the code it surrounds is not supposed to be used? Can this code be safely removed from clitar.c?

Has anyone worked with either the Hitachi or Seagate Compact flash drives in an IDE to CF interface and set the up with EXT3 formatted partitions for use with LVM? I ASSuME that LVM is not for FAT32 formatted drives.

Is there any command that I can use to find the broken links that point to non-existent files? Thanks a lot.

Hi, I am trying to delete files that are more than 7 days old. When I run it interactively it works, no problem, but it does not run from a file stored in cron.daily. The rest of that daily file runs properly. [The execute bit is on]. I don't see anything in the /var/log/messages. --------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash find /mnt/iog -type f -name '*.tar.gz' -mtime +7

Hi, Sorry for the little bit off-topic. I have a script that has to performe a hash over a password. Problem is that sha512sum expects CTRL-D to be pressed to return to the command prompt. I've searched all over Google, but either I didn't do the right search or there is nothing relevant about this. Bottom line is that I need this command to print the password hash and returns to the
