similar to: disable media check on custom cd [dnk]

Good day -- I am having a go at installing VMware on my centos 4.2 machine. I am going through the configuration script and I am getting to the part where I need the c headers for my kernel. What package do I need to install to make these available, and where are they installed to? I have been searching for this with little luck. Thanks in advance. Dustin

Hi all.... I had posted hte following on teh centos forums, and thought there might be additional people in here who do not browse those forum, so after 4 days I am posting over here as well (sorry for the double - but figured after 4 days it was safe to do so). Hi there.... I am trying to make a custom centos server cd that will essentially do the following: throw the disk in, boot the machine,

Can anyone point me to a good one for use? It would be cool if it was from a repo for updates, etc. Thanks in advance! Dustin

Good day..... This is a slightly older issue for me. In the past I had tried to install Samba on a centos 4.0 box, and the useradd tool on Centos 4 would not add the "$" character to the usernames being created. This showed up whenever a domain trust was trying to be established for a computer that was logging into the samba share for the first time. Maybe I messed something

Hi there -- i am just looking for clarification on the yum "group install" option.... How can you tell what are valid groups? IE I found the below example on google: yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" I have heard references to doing things like: yum groupinstall "Development Tools" But to the point - is there a list of valid groups for install? ----------

Hey there - I have a tutorial i wrote for my own docs - not sure if you guys want it on the centos wiki. It is a custom centos server 4X disk in which the install connects to a remote listening VNC viewer. The purpose of this disk is simple - to be able to install a second system with centos without having to hook up a keyboard/mouse/monitor. This second machine is my test machine, and I

Hi there i was wondering if anyone on this list has any comments on CPanel vs Plesk on Centos 4+? Looking for the one that best work with the "out of the box" RPMs for Centos. Thanks in advance! Dustin

I am using a kickstart centos 1503 file. For some reason I am getting a mediacheck even though I do not have mediacheck in my kickstart file. Any ideas why? Something change on that? Jerry

Can anyone recommend an opensource package (preferably something centos 4X compatible) that can be used on a (iptables) firewall to block virus/trojan, etc? And maybe something for intrusion detection? Thanks! Dnk

Can anyone recommend a ssh bookmark manager for centos? Thanks! d

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone had a link to a good tutorial (or docs) in regards to setting up a push install of printers (HP 4200N) from a samba server (CentOS 4) to a mixed windows (98,2k,xp) enviorment. Now I have been investigating using a BAT file in a logon script, but the results seem to be unpredictable (maybe i am usign them wrong?). Then permissions on the target machine seem to be

Good day everyone - This maybe somewhat OT, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good tool for cloning *nix drives. The one thing though is that I will be cloning a smaller drive than the destination drive and would like to distribute the free space accordingly on the new drive. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance. :::::::::::::::::::::: Dustin

I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem. I have not tried any other search engines yet. There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post. I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed. I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass. The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck. I

hey guys, I just created a custom netboot cd, that launches and loads from a http source, but connects to a vnc listening viewer. All in all, not hard to do, but what is different with this one is that it skips the media check, has no prompts and allows you to start the install on a machine that has no keyboard/mouse/monitor. Was handy for me as when i have some boxes to load, I just

Good day all, I have been searching on google for the recommended repo for php 5.2.3 + for centos... I saw at one point it was in the testing repo, but was pulled due to no one testing it. Is there a recommended repo that people feel is safe for a CentOS 5.x to get php 5.23 + ? I know i can compile and install, but i like to keep as "vanilla" as possible. Thanks in advance.

Hi there --- for some reason I am getting really weird keyboard behavior on the CLI (no xfs or anything running). Centos 4.4 yummed up. For example if i type "root" to login, I get "rot" or sometimes "roooooot". Then other times I will have to press a key like 3 times to get a double character. Now at first I thought maybe it was the keyboard, but it seems to

Any one have a tutorial for setting up backup pc on centos 5? I already have it all installed (centos test repo), but looking more so for configuration steps that are CentOS centric. Dustin

Hi folks, i have a problem to boot an Ubuntu CD in a hvm-enabled machine. I get a black screen when connecting via vnc to the virtual machine. When i change the line cdrom= to some other CD (grml Live CD, Windows CD, other ones) it runs fine. But any Ubuntu CD (kubuntu alternative, ubuntu server, ubuntu desktop) i get the mentioned error. I tried using sdl (no window opens) and with

Hi there. For some reason I am getting permission denied errors on a new samba server. I can add machines to the domain, I can login with any user id's and so on as well. But when I try connecting to a public share, or the users home directory, I get a user denied error. "\\Fileserver\user is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.

Hello! I''ve been trying to use facts from Facter in a custom function. I''ve been following Matthew''s entry in the wiki (http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions). What i''m seeing is that Facter[''fqdn''].value is always returning the fqdn of the puppetmaster host. I was expecting the fqdn of the client host.
