similar to: SELinux threads, cynicism, one-upmanship, etc.

Hi all I would like to install the minimal level of Centos, with yum & selinux on my servers during the basic install from CD with Anaconda and then use yum to install whatever application is major on that server, so that yum installs its dependencies only, thus keeping to the target of installing only what is needed on a server. Please advise pros/cons of this approach and how to do it. I

Hi CentOS4.2 - Is it possible to have an older version of gcc as well as the one that ships with this OS? I need to compile aspseek to run on this distro but it seems to only like older gcc's any ideas?

Currently we have RH7.3 with compiler gcc 2.96.x My mission, should I choose to accept it, involves moving our embedded application to CentOS 4.1 with gcc 3.x Problem is that about 1/2 million lines of code that gcc 2.96 accepts gives fatal fits to the gcc 3.x compiler from CentOS 4.1 I don't know how many fatal fits, as some disguise others etc. "Can't find register to

I can't choose LILO as boot loader anymore in the install process? And what is the advantages in GRUP vs. LILO that are so great that LILO has been deleted all together? One big disadvantages when forced to use GRUB is that it is a hassle to make the disks in a RAID1 bootable. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-March/msg05935.html and RAID1 seems pretty useless when it is the

Hello, I have: CentOS4.1 x86_64 directly-attached Infortrend 9TB array QLogic HBA seen as sdb GPT label created in parted I want one single 9TB ext3 partition. I am experiencing crazy behavior from mke2fs / mkfs.ext3 (tried both). If I create partitions in parted up to approx 4,100,000 MB in parted, mkfs.ext3 works great. It lists the right number of blocks and creates a filesystem that fills

Hi List; Anyone know of any good retail or online outlets to but Linux desktops/servers. I would like to acquire another low cost dev box and I refuse to give the M$ chronies any of my money. Thanks for your advice...

What KVMs do you use? I personally like the ConnectPro.

After reading all the problems with the x86-64 update, I'm in a quandry as to update this machine or not. Nothing that I am aware of is broken, and at least everything I use works. This is NOT a production machine, but it does have some important software that needs to run twice daily, and I sure don't want to break things for that. If upgrade is not necessary, how do I go about

Hi List; I see in the 4.2 downloads area the following: [ ] CentOS-4.2-i386-bin1of4.iso 11-Oct-2005 13:07 618M [ ] CentOS-4.2-i386-bin2of4.iso 11-Oct-2005 13:13 635M [ ] CentOS-4.2-i386-bin3of4.iso 11-Oct-2005 13:20 639M [ ] CentOS-4.2-i386-bin4of4.iso 11-Oct-2005 13:22 217M [ ] CentOS-4.2.ServerCD-i386.iso 07-Nov-2005 04:36 558M What is the

List, I've got a process(s) that have been exiting on a signal 11, but not all the time. I suspect it's memory related, and I was wondering, is there any way to tell exactly how much memory a particular process has in use at the point it sigsev's ? I can't sit here and watch top or the system monitor, but thought maybe something might be saved somewhere after the fact.

greetings bryan, did you say that in your experience the /var partition should _not_ be on the extended partition table for "recovery" purposes? - rh

Is there a way to specify that program X should be kep in memory and not swap it out? I have a program that takes some time to load and as long as you keep using it its responsive but if after sometime its not in use and now I use it it has a slow response till it gets swapped back in. The box in question has 1 GIG ram and its not running much else just this program really. Just looking for a

greetings would someone please point me to an excellent server exercising, stressing, and/or testing program that will run on centos 4? i want one that will not out and out destroy a machine so to speak... ...meaning testing is one thing, yet pounding a box in the hard drive department over and above the cause or unnecessarily does not appeal to me. fyi the box i want to test/stress this time

Hi, Not meaning to rush you folks (you're doing a great job). But I'm about to install/clone 4 computers with Centos 4. When can I expect 4.2 to be out (in DVD format preferably)? As in, is it worth waiting and saving myself the later hassle extra downloads? [I don't actually have 4.1 DVD's, just 4.0, so I pretty much have to download the DVD.ISO anyway] Cheers & Thanks,

I have not even decided if I want to undertake a kernel build, but for the sake of discussion, if everything happens to be in the stock kernel, why, other than file bloat, would you want to build a custom kernel? In FreeBSD, you can remove all those devices and drivers that are not needed, and, depending on how much stuff you add or delete, can make a decent size reduction in the kernel
