yum grouplist error
I keep a local copy of the yum repository using rsync every night.
Commands like "yum update" still work, but lately I've been getting

Kickstart from floppy falling into regular install
I took my anaconda-ks.cfg file, cp to ks.cfg and copied to a floppy
The isos have been copied to an ftp server. So I had the following
lines in my ks.cfg

This is along with all the appropriate network command to get the
ethernet setup.

Kickstart with all the latest updates?
Currently, I kickstart my machines over http to install CentOS 4.4
and then in a script called from %post do a "yum -y update" to
install all the latest updates. Is there a way to set up the
kickstart server so that I can do this all in one step? In other
words, is there a "supported" way to roll in all the updates into the
kickstart server? In case it matters, I

yum custom install
I am trying to learn some of the in's and out's of yum, and thanks to
the help of many on this forum, things are beginning to make more sense
(though I still have a lot more to learn). My initial Centos install
was the "minimum". From there I used yum grouplist and yum installgroup.
However, one of the members helped me with using yum to install
php-mysql and I just found

Will Firefox 2.X be included/supported in CentOS 5?
I know this mostly depends on what is/will be done upstream, but with
the recent announcement that Firefox 1.5.X will only receive updates
until April 24, 2007, is Firefox 2.X in CentOS' future?

Configuring sendmail in a corporate environment
I have a stock CentOS 5 system as far as email (sendmail) is
concerned that is on our corporate LAN. I am not trying to set up a
mail server; I merely want our CentOS systems to be able to send out
emails. This works as long as the recipient's domain is our local
domain. Any email send to recipients that are not in our local
domain get stuck in the queue:

Problem getting eth0 up
I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install.
However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP

Problem with graphics on latest CentOS 6
The thread "Problems with kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64? reminded me that I have a similar problem but on the latest CentOS 6 kernel I?ve been meaning to report. Here is the relevant system information:

CentOS 5 sysreport
I stumbled across this issue because I requested to install the
sysreport package in my kickstart file. Anaconda complains that such
a package doesn't exist. There is a bug report about this already
(http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2492), but it's certainly a
strange situation.
1. Anaconda doesn't think the package sysreport exists
2. yum thinks it exists:

Slow CentOS VM when running off the network
I have a CentOS 5.3 VM running under VMware on a WIndows XP laptop.
Everything works fine when connected to the network. However,
removed from the network, most everything in the CentOS VM takes
minutes to complete. For instance, starting a new Terminal window
takes over 3 minutes. I did an strace, and there are a couple of
long waits when trying to open a socket

Interesting! However, I would prefer to use more ?native? Docker commands, as I would rather not have all developers install and configure Singularity when they already have Docker installed on their systems. There has got to be

Running CentOS on very old hardware
A friend has an old Pentium-133 laptop with 32MB of memory and a 1.3 GB
hard disk that he wants to use as a web server for a very small
community. Will CentOS (or any other RHEL derived distribution for
that matter) install and run with acceptable performance on such a
system, or will a specialized distribution like Damn Small Linux be a
better choice? In this case, disk space is not a big

Installing Centos4.3 in VMWare on XP
Evening everyone,
I'm trying to install Centos 4.3 in VMWare Workstation running
on Windows XP (my laptop). I downloaded the CD iso's to my
Linux box and burned them (I did them correctly since last time
I screwed them up). However, when I start the VM in VMWare,
it says the CD isn't bootable. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Need help resolving yum update issues on mixed architecture system
I have been using 32-bit CentOS since the 4.X days without a real need for 64-bit, but in preparation for CentOS 7, I have installed 64-bit CentOS 6 on a test system to qualify all our builds. However, in order to build some of our current 32-bit applications, I had to install some i686 packages, including glib.
Now when I try to do a "yum update" on this test system, I get the dreaded
