similar to: Setting up YUM or APT

Hi Is it possible to swap the yum.conf from my centos box onto my whitebox box and have the whitebox machine use centos updates through yum? CentOS seems further ahead and far quicker at roll outs than whitebox? thanks

I haven't configured YUM . How do I do it? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have no idea about it. Moreover, I would also like to use APT afterwards. I really want to try both of these. I have used apt-get before many a times, but never used YUM. Can anybody post the procedure to get this working? Which repositories to be added, how it is to be configured? And yes, how do i

Hi All. I've found: This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users, you should use /6/ and not /6.3/ in your path. Please see this FAQ concerning the CentOS release scheme: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 6.3 level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages.

For lack of knowlege of a better place to put this, I'm reporting an error on the CentOS FAQ. Trying to read http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/category.php?categoryid=2 question "How do I download and burn the isos?" I encountered this web page with the following text: [http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=46] This page cannot be displayed due to an internal

Hi folks: I've recently migrated one of my production servers (bad Jason!) from WBEL to CentOS 3.3 using Donavan's instructions in the FAQ (http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19). While it was as painless as the document suggests, I've run into problems with postgrey (a postfix greylisting daemon) on my server. Whenever I try to start postgrey, I get the

Hello group, I have a CentOS 5.5 server freshly installed. When I do a yum updated package_name, I have referenced to 5.6. Why? Here is an example: yum update vsftpd --changelog Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, security addons/other | 192 B 00:00 base/other_db | 11 MB 00:50 extras/other_db | 442 kB 00:01 updates/other_db | 2.8 MB 00:11

While update 3 was released last week, it looks like there are 40 or so packages updated. I dunno about squid, it is listed on http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4as-errata.html but the changelog is from October 2005 (unless it is an rhel only bug). audit-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm audit-libs-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm audit-libs-devel-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm bootparamd-0.17-21.RHEL4.i386.rpm

Hello all! I'm new to the list. I just upgraded 3 White Box Linux servers (database, application and internet) yesterday to Centos 3.4 using the info in http://centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19. Very easy, and that was a very helpfull document! The decision was based in the speed of updates, really much faster in Centos! Is there a similar way to upgrade a Fedora Core 1 server

Greetings - I have a rhel 3 server that I want to migrate to centos. The FAQ: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19 pretty much tells me what I need to do but what is going to happen when I run yum update? Will it replace every RPM on my system with its centos counterpart or will it only upgrade RPMS as new versions are released? This is a production system and I'm

Hello, I'm thinking about migrating from RHEL 4 to CentOS. Is there a document that provide pointer / guidance for doing that ? or is this document: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19 relevant enough to follow in my situation ? I understand that I should probably strip the install of any RedHat images, trademark, etc, as to not infringing any copyright. So I am
