similar to: deleting selected partition in kickstart

I'm trying to kickstart a Centos 4.1 system with the minimum set of packages. I have no use for ypbind so I'm trying to prevent from being installed, but kickstart/anaconda always insist on its installation (complaining that the package is missing). This is the %packages section of my ks file so far: %packages #-@ dialup kernel grub e2fsprogs lvm2 -slocate -bluez-utils -bluez-bluefw

Hi, I have alot of kickstart and scripting going on as I provision lots of machines, and every now and then I run into a pesky machine or three that's still got that Adeptec zero-channel RAID card sitting on the board. Normally I like to rip it our and throw something more robust in, but if it's a cache machine or whatever, I leave it in. It makes my kickstart file useless until I

Anyone point me in the direction of a good howto on kickstarting an 1850 or 2850 with the latest 4.x release - I presume one does not use a ks floppy anymore as the kernel would be too big ? thanks

Hi, does anaconda C4/5 support remote logging during the install? (logging --host=ip) Thanks, David

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,

Hi all, I would like to check with you all if the following is possible: I'd like to combine G4L (Ghost clone) with PXE (been done before) but in such a way that an option in LDAP is checked after booting with PXE. If it's set, a certain program is executed with certain parameters (G4L), if not, the PC should continue to boot in it's installed operating system. Is the latter

HI Can I install Centos on Segate ST3160812AS ( SATA II ) Harddisk? Asky

I recently aquired a Verisign SSL certificate for my web server on Centos 4, with apache 2.0.59 from centosplus. It however doesn't seem to be working the way I've set it up, browsers connect but are told the certiticate is not recognized. Showing more info, the information looks correct. I think it has probably to do with the fact that I'm using the certificate on a virtual

Hi, To get my system on time, I usually issue these two commands: # ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org # hwclock -w And when I want this to be done on startup, I put the two lines in rc.local. I wonder if this is an orthodox way to do things. Or is there something more appropriate? Niki Kovacs

I have been asked to update OpenLDAP to the latest stable version. I am using CentOS 4.2 and have OpenLDAP 2.2.13 installed. I can install from source if I have to, but I would rather stay with rpm packages if possible. I found an rpm from Fedora Core Development on RPMFIND. Will this one work with Centos, or should I grab the source rpm and rebuild it? Bowie

I am trying to finish off a kickstart file for a computer lab on CentOS 6.5 machines. I don't want to have a separate /home as I'm going to add an entry in fstab for it to nfs mount /home from a server. Is there a way to have it autopart the rest of the file system without /home? Wanting to keep autopart for size since not all hard drives across the labs are the same. Matt

This may not be a CentOS problem, because I'm in a mixed environment. But I put it out in case anybody has any thoughts. I recently replaced a file server, which was on a Pentium III based system running 32-bit CentOS 4.3, with an Opteron based system running Fedora 4. The NFS clients are all CentOS 4.3, some are 32 bit and some are 64 bit. Since the replacement, when I try to write

I have the latest kernel with the drivers for my 3ware 9550SX built in. Where can I find the tools and monitoring apps for this card? Are there rpms hiding somewhere, or do I need to build it from source? -- Bowie

I have a functional CentOS system on which I need to install Windows for dual boot. I can make some space available on a high partition. Can WIndows be installed on partition 8 (starting with 1)? I have always done it on the first partition. Thanks, Tony Schreiner Boston College

Hi Tony, Have you solved this problem yet?I took another approach and used CACkey which supportsUS Government PIV cards including the CAC.? In my case I set it up on Linux Mint but there is an rpm version of CACKey for 32 or 64 bit Centos.Here is the process I went through. - setup CAC card by following instructions on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonAccessCard sudo apt-get install
