Hello All I may have ruffled some feathers with a comment i made earlier about rpmforge. This was posted back on the ML.

So to oblige here is a further discussion on this subject. The reason I say this about rpmforge is because if you install this repo and then do a yum update watch what it will install...

Hi all; I'm actually running RHEL 5.4 I installed the rpmforge centos repo (and disabled it).

...s out there and was thinking these would be a nice addition to the wiki to show that CentOS isn't just a server distro. I would also like to tweak the nvidia driver install instructions as well.

...o tonight and z00dax said go hunt some bugs. So I went first to the wiki to look for a guide for a proper procedure on how the team would like bug triaging handled but didn't find one.

Download the latest *rpm.bin jdk (as of today,jdk-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin) fromhttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp 2. chmod +x the downloaded file. 3. su 4. Execute

Wanting to listen to magnatune.com while I worked, I discovered that flash is not working. It appears that I don't have libflashplayer, but yum tells me that no such package is available.

Hi, Is anyone here using TwinView with NVIDIA graphics drivers under CentOS 5? Just tried this configuration (I've been using dual monitors as separate X screens in the past), and while it works in a sense, there are a few issue that will probably prevent me from using it for real. Notably, which screen new applications start on (when using the Applications menu or panel launchers) seems to
