similar to: Anaconda allows x86_64 CD/DVD to be used to install i386 system

I've found discussion about this in list archives, but no final answers. Many helpfull people wrote in the past how to avoid creating DVD (install from network, install from disk, boot this way, boot that way). But, I do need DVD, no way around it. No network, no USB, no floppy, no anything. Placing files on hard drive not an option. Just a DVD-ROM. By Googling around, I found some

Hi all, I'm trying to get Cacti installed on my CentOS 4.3 x86_64 box. I've got all of required packages installed, and created database file, and followed all the instructions in install manual. However, when I get login screen and use admin for username/password, it simply redirects me straight back to login screen. Looking at user_log table, the authentication was

Hi, Just wondering, has anybody thought of making openldap 2.3.x part of centos plus? I had some problems with openldap 2.2.x, and all the answers I got about it were to upgrade to 2.3. It seems 2.2 is dead release nowdays, and openldap people do not recommend using it for production anymore. -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/

Which is why I always symlink /etc/localtime Not only does it solve these issues, but it makes it very clear which timezone is selected! -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Aleksandar Milivojevic Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 2:45 PM To: centos at centos.org Subject: Re: [CentOS] New Standard/Daylight time-change

Hi, I know everybody is probably bussy with polishing and preparing for release CentOS 4.3, however just wondering if there are any plans to package IMP 4.1 in extras one of these days? -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/

Hi, I'll need to buy a new wireless card. I need a recommendation for PCMCIA wireless card that simply works with CentOS out of the box. By "works out of the box", I mean that it doesn't need ndis wrapper (or whatever it is called), kernel hacks, or whatever. Thanks

Is it possible to have a route stick in the kernel, even if device it points to goes to roller coaster up and down drive. For example. I have an ADSL modem and am doing VPN over it. There's a route needed for VPN added like this: ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1.2.3.4 src 192.168.2.1 There are two problems with it: a) if ADSL link is down when above command is executed, the route

Just wondering if anybody managed to get SMP kernel to boot properly on an old Asus CUV4X-DLS motherboard (older dual P-III)? I had this problem only with this specific motherboard and 2.6 kernels. First time couple of years ago. And again today (I've just installed CentOS4 on a box that used to run RH7.3). Previously those machines were running Red Hat 7.3 (2.4 kernels), and with 2.4

Every time cups is updated I have to check mime.convs and mime.types to ensure that references to handling raw file types are uncommented otherwise we notice that one of our printers stops working because the files are overwritten by the updates. Should config files not be left untouched? We do have 'print command = lpr -r -oraw -P %p %s' in smb.conf but this on its own didn't make

A bit off-topic. Not a question on how to get it working, but rather question about an practical issue after you get it to work ;-) I got a DVD burner that supports DVD-RAM (in addition to standard DVD+R/-R). I really liked "use it just like hard disk" properties of DVD-RAM, and according to some sources I found, the media itself is more resistant to ageing than standard DVD+R/-R.

I've just made (yet another) CentOS 4 installation. The install process seems to go fine, however the machine doesn't wan't to boot. The system in question has one of I2O Adaptec RAID controllers. I've configured LVM with one volume group and several volumes. If I boot into the rescue mode, all looks fine and dandy. Anaconda finds the installation, and I can access all

RPMS's rebuilt or upstream one's used Hi I got a cleanly reinstalled 4.2 workstation. However i still needed to build the following SRPMS from Mandriva/Fedora :- - Chkrootkit - Logcheck - Tripwire - Xboard & Gnuchess - Rkhunter I needed to use the upstream versions of :- - OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 - RealPlayer Gold - Acrobat Reader I needed to tweak Bind chroot to log queries and

OK, I have managed to get software RAID 1 running on my wonderful Proliant server but now have two challenges: 1) Fresh after an OS install and reboot, the RAID array starts to do its stuff but straight away (as part of the boot messages) I am told that the second disk is 'not ready for command' and the system hangs as soon as resyncing starts. I think this is fixed by adding an hdparm

I'm attempting to build some PECL modules on fully updated CentOS 4.2 system. Preferably pack them into nice RPM packages. However, seems I'm missing something. For example, this is what I get for sqlite module: $ pear makerpm SQLite-1.0.3.tgz `phpize' failed The php-devel package is installed (so I do have phpize command). It's just that it is failing. If I unpack the

Tripwire is probably one of must-have utilities for many system administrators. However, it is missing from almost all recent Red Hattish distributions. IMO, probably due to the fact that source compiles only on i386, and needs patches to compile almost every time new major version of gcc is released. However, in absence of good replacement, this is all we have. (IMO, other tools such as AIDE

I've created kernel-isa and kernel-isasmp packages (currently i586, there'll be i686 version soon too). Basically, it is centosplus kernel with ISA Plug and Play, ISA and PCMCIA sound cards and ISA network cards enabled. The change to kernel spec file to add these two packages was fairly simple, and I hope this might find the way into centosplus kernel. If maintainer(s) of

I want to mirror an existing 40GB data only drive using software Raid1 on my new CentOS 4 server. The existing drive is connected to a Promise Ultra 100 TX2 controller (non-raid). I have read about mdadm and understand how to create the Raid1 on /dev/mdxx devices. However I would like to know if the existing data on the orignal 40GB drive in the system will be destroyed when I create the raid with

Hi, I've just started testing CentOS 4.4 installs. When installing on two mirrored drives, the bootloader got installed into the first partition, instead of MBR. It was a kickstart install, and I used "bootloader --location=mbr" in the kickstart file (which is also a default). However, when looking into /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file, misteriously it was changed to

I have just installed centos 4 on a spare box - working great. Until now, I have been using Fedora Core3. I wish to move all of my mail, address book and bookmarks created in Thunderbird and Firefox from the Fedora system to the new Centos system. Would someone kindly point me in the right direction, I am relatively new at linux. Many thanks for any assistance. christian

I've just had a problem on one of my x86_64 boxes with openssl package. I have an 32-bit only application that requires openssl libraries. When I attempted to install openssl.i686 (in addition to already present openssl.x86_64), it failed. The rpm complained about conflicting files (they were all manpages), and I needed to use --force option to install the thing. The good folks
