Hi Is it possible to swap the yum.conf from my centos box onto my whitebox box and have the whitebox machine use centos updates through yum? CentOS seems further ahead and far quicker at roll outs than whitebox? thanks

Hello several months ago I install WhiteBox Linux on several severs, I was happy, not woriing about upgrading every 1,5 year as when I use RH 4.0, 6.0, 7.3, 9.0 .... And then WhiteBox went black, WBEL updates release slowed down and maintainer wont help form anybody. Just telling "If you want quick updates, build it yourself."....

Hello all I migrated my Centos installation from a whitebox install few months ago. Only one minor issue...on booting up X, the login screen shows whitebox logos. At that time, I did not tackle it because I assumed that it will automatically be upgraded with yum...and again it was not essential to running the OS. What whitebox rpms do I need to substitute...

I've been following the faq for moving from whitebox to centos (which admittedly is for release 3, but using the equivalent release 4 files) and keep getting stuck when installing the centos-release-4-2.1 rpm which says it should replace whitebox-release4.2 However this is not happening, giving me the following rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org...

In an effort to prevent getting many minutes into an installation only to have a CD read fail (I did verify the CD's first), I did a minimal install. Can I use the minimal install to add the necessay packages for a HTTP server and graphical interface? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Well, I'm a recent convert from WBEL. My biggest concern with CentOS is that the community here seems to want to be more than a recompile of RHEL. But WBEL is floundering, what with Katrina and Rita, and there really being only 1 developer behind it, etc. I offer an automated shell script to switch from WBEL4 to CentOS4 (easy, it's hosted on my home DSL line!) It assumes that

Good evening everyone, I am used to using R under Windows, but have done an install of 1.9.1 under WhiteBox linux 3 (based on RHEL 3). This all went without a hitch, along with most of the additional package installs. However, while trying to install car and rgl I hit a problem regarding the X environment not being found. As I was doing the install from a console *within* the X environment, this is obvio...

Hello I am leaving Whitebox because of lack of up to date sec. updates. Did any body try to "upgrade" WBEL to CentOS? Any dificulty or problems? Thanks Petr Klima

Bear with me, this is CentOS related. :) I have a python CGI that's behaving weirldy on Whitebox systems that've been switched over to CentOS 4 (ages ago, no other problems to speak of aside from this one). I've broken the problem down to a minimal test case... 1. Create a small database # sqlite3 /tmp/testcase.db 'CREATE TABLE testtable ( date date primary key unique, name varc...

How do you upgrade samba from 3.0.28 to 3.0.29 to fix winbind issue? My OS is CentOS 4.5. I haven't been able to find a RPM above 3.0.28. for samba. I backed all of the files that I needed and removed the RPM's for 3.28 and installed 3.0.33 doing a ./configure, make, make install and was hoping to reconfigure all the data but the smb service was not where to be found I even rebooted the

Hi everyone, I have a home computer that I use to develop on, which it is running Whitebox 3.0. I have copied all the required CentOS 3.4 RPMs to /RPM, created a new yum repository and then updated, but when I try to upgrade, it fails on a "recursive dependency on glibc". Is there any way I can force that dependency? Would it be easier to upgrade to 4.0 using Anaconda? Thank...

Hi all I don't have the full Centos 4 CD distro, only the minimal server one (single CD). I use whitebox 4 for desktop installs and then change the necessary files whitebox-release, diskdumputils, yum etc. & change it to centos...never had a problem. This time however, I don't know why, but I chose the "Everything" option in the package selection dialog during install. Post installa...

...support in Centos 4. I had a procedure on how to do this in the 2.4 kernel but it doesn't seem to work in the 2.6. Any help would be appreciated. Config: Standard intel server board. p4 processor (3) 3-ware controllers Lsi Logic u320 scsi card External SCSI tape library. Worked before on a Whitebox linux 2.4 kernel, just added: options scsi_mod "max_scsi_luns=16" to /etc/modules.conf and rebuilt the initrd image, then reboot. All worked fine. But Whitebox is crap and was giving me probs and also want everything standardized on CentOS! Thanks!

Recent convert from WhiteBox, a few questions What is the difference between CentOS 4.2 and "4"? Is this like the Whitebox "respin"? Are updates/packages for 4.2 applicable across all the "4" series of releases? -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XERO...

...g to build the inexpensive 10g RAC cluster as outlined in Jeffrey Hunter's paper "Build Your Own Oracle RAC 10g Clulster on Linux and FireWire". I've got the hardware working and everything is looking good up to the step where I need to download and install OCFS. I'm using WhiteBox Linux v. 4, which is RedHat AS 4 and based on 2.6 kernel. I did find an oracle-modified kernel for sharing the FireWire drive. But it's looking like there is no OCFS specifically for 2.6? Is that correct? Is that a show-stopper with this distribution of WhiteBox/RedHat ? -- Chris Howard...

Anyone seen either of these "in the wild" yet? RHEL3/RHEL4 are install options so I'm assuming CentOS will just work out of the box, but I thought I'd ask here. The 2100 seems like a viable alternative to whitebox 1RU boxes that we currently use, especially with the new dual core processors. Cheers,

Hi, I have the newbie guide from AMP's website and (fair enough) it is all about whitebox linux. Has anyone found any gotchas with the newbie guide relating to SUSE 9.2 ? Any help appreciated.
