Guidelines for CentOS Mailing List posts
...ay trimming of emails as well and maybe link to examples on Wikipedia of top-posting and bottom-posting.

CentOS 4 update backlog
...CentOS (4 and 5) and it looks like the CentOS 5 ones have been rebuilt and rolled out. How come the CentOS 4 branch lags behind, or are the CentOS 5 devs different from the CentOS 4 devs? If more volunteers are needed I'm sure assistance could be offered by the CentOS community. Regards, Vandaman.

Proposed New Mailing List
...ailing lists, long time users are put off by the flood of posts by newbies who don't even conform to the list guidelines. Some pay back by not replying to those in violation without as much as a hint. Would a new list really solve anything or would it close one door and open another? Regards, Vandaman.

Missing grub functionality on CentOS 5
There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback.

Fasttrack Repo on CentOS 4
