Hi, just to avoid re-inventing the wheel, is there any document that can help me reduce even further a "minimum" installation of Centos 4.4 (BTW can you say 600mb is minimum)? I am in the process of creating a small Centos-4.4-based Asterisk box and I need to boot it from a CF card. Deleting useless packages will help me do what i want. Example: even a minimum install of Centos 4.4 (or

Hello, I have the idea brewing for some time in my mind - to build Linux based HTPC. It would be used for movies, cable (analog for now) recording, Stepmania, backup station, etc. And I would like to get some information before proceeding to estimate the cost.

Hi We have up until now been a Dell shop but are looking at HP. I would normally monitor hardware by installing OMSA from dell and then using nagios as the monitor. Are there tools for HP that would allow me to do similar? thanks

I recently installed VMware on CentOS 4.4 (using the single server CD). I installed VMware fine, and then installed the VMware-mui tools that allow me to use a Windows box to console to the server. From my Windows box, I can create VMs on the fly just fine. Interestingly, I can create virtual Debian boxes ok, but I can't create virtual CentOS boxes. What might I be missing? As soon as I

I tried older kernels

CentOS specificly, is there any rule of thumb about package names when searching for and installing things using yum? I ask, after I finally found the perl/Tk package I needed, but only after trying several incantations of the package name, from the full blown alpha/numeric name to simply perl/Tk. Is it safe to assume when searching or yum'ing a package that just the package name and

Is there a way to determine what package changed from CentOS 4.1 to 4.2 (or between any two versions)? I need to create a yum repository to upgrade some machines that cannot talk to the Internet. Thanks for any help. ID:FONGVANG

Hi Gang- I just installed Cent 4.4 using the server only CD.
