...ere a way in Centos 7 to boot into an alternate video setup? Some distributions have an option to boot into something called VESA (or something similar). Something that might not have the fanciest features, but more likely to at least just work.

Hello. I think it is just too easy to make mistakes with rsync. And getting it "almost correct" can really get you hurt. So I would like to learn with Grsync. But, Grsync does not seem to be in the centos 7 or EPEL 7 repositories (although it may have been around as late as centos 6). Is it now in any "reputable" repositories? If not, has anyone installed it from source

Hello. After some reading, including the rsync man page, I am still not clear on this: When using rsync to backup and restore, when should and when should one *not* include hard links (by using the -H option switch)? A simple example case would be backups for one or just a few light-duty local workstations. Is there a simple, clear rule about that, or is it too complicated for that?

...I don't know anything about bug reports, and I an not familiar with swapping out kernels in Centos. BTW, is El Repo another name for the EPEL repository?

Updated the kernel as suggested to 3.19, did not solve problem. Unbelievable! Oh, well . . .

Hello! No updates for days until 2015-04-01. Then presented with huge steaming pile of updates all at once, apparently related to Centos 7.1 release. Not thinking about it being April Fools Day, I immediately did: yum -v check-update, then yum -v update then rebooted. After reboot, there is a problem with the video. It seems to flicker when the mouse pointer touches the screen edges.

...is a horribly insecure protocol. Why would I want someone from outside viewing my installation? Why is the X server looking for display :1 ?? I only have one display screen on the laptop, so the display is :0 This is a horribly broken ISO spin.

Please ... any info on how to proceed??? After I made sure it had the correct sha256sum, and after I burned it to DVD, and and dd'd the DVD back to a temp file and again checked the sha256sum of the temp file, all was OK. Same sha256sum. So, I rebooted the machine and it booted up from the DVD. I got a message that it was not using VNC, Then after that immediately an error came out saying

Almost everyone here has probably read this by now. If so, move along, nothing new here. But just in case you haven't, please take the time to read this. Here it is, in their own words: what Redhat thinks of Centos, and it's plans for the future of Centos. Can you read between the lines? In this case, it isn't very hard to do, IMHO. community.redhat.com/centos-faq

Thanks for the replies. 1) I always use the -n (--dry-run) option. Couldn't imaging not doing so! 2) I hate having to look up stuff like the trailing slashes each time. And trying to decide what to (--exclude), to -H or not to -H, etc. 3) I hate having to re-do #2 every time I want to do a small ad-hoc backup or synchronization, let alone a full filesystem backup. 4) I could do shut

See my second reply to your earlier message.
