Are there any possible undesirable effects of a BIOS upgrade? The worst I can think of is something that would change my SATA drives from being mapped as SCSI to being mapped as IDE. Ted Miller Indiana

I finally got 5.1 to boot after install (install couldn't keep the disk IDs from getting crossed up, so at reboot partitions were not where install said they would be). I needed to compile vmware and nvidia modules, but decided to upgrade first. Told yumex to upgrade everything. When I went to reboot the VG with / on it is not seen by the kernel. (root partition is LVM on top of RAID

I am fairly sure that I had gotten this to work before, and I know that the Centos4-live disk worked OK, but now (maybe since I upgraded BIOS) I get this sequence after booting the live cd: Creating /var in RAM ... Done Found Centos-live.sqfs but couldn't mount it: Linking /usr to /centos-live/usr /linuxrc: 1208: [: not found Freeing unused kernel memory: 296K freed Write protecting the

Can someone please clarify the status of minimal install images of Centos 5 for VMware? I see the work that 'tru' did, but it is still at 5 (not 5.1).

Any tips on taking a Centos 4 desktop from physical hardware to virtual environment? Ted Miller Indiana, USA

I can't get my HP DeskJet 712C to print via cups. I believe the reason is that according to http://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-May/msg00002.html the pnm2ppa filter got dropped between RHEL 4 and RHEL 5, or between Fedora 6 and RHEL 5, depending on how you look at it. Foomatic still generates the pnm2ppa.xml file, but there is no pnm2ppa binary filter installed, so any

Is hugin available for Centos 4 or Centos 5? Ted Miller Indiana, USA

I realize this may technically be "off topic", but I have made all the icons on my KDE desktop disappear. It is something in the KDE setup in my /home/tmiller/... setup, as my wife's icons work fine. It is probably the result of something I deleted or moved in moving my home directory from Mandriva 2006 to Centos 4. The files are all in /home/tmiller/Desktop, but they

I would like to file a bug report for the error message: kernel: floppy0: data CRC error: track 77, head 1, sector 3, size 2 The error is real, it is the message that is in error. Where do I file this? Ted Miller Indiana, USA

I have a project that I need some hardware pointers for. I need to build some Centos "appliances" (dedicated boxes to do one thing only). Target cost is under $250/box.

Is there a file system + configuration that will let me share a directory, and anyone who has access to something in that directory on the server will also have access (and lack of access) to the same files from the client? Clients will be Centos5, Win2K, WinXP. Server is Centos5. To put it another way, all users have accounts on the server. I don't want to have to set up ANY user
