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

Hi I have inherited some kickstarts that attempt to remove some packages that at some point its been deemed they are not required. I am migrating all this over to cobbler but trying to get to the bottom of this error that although the kickstart completes sshd cant start as the package nss is not installed. It fails with this Installing nss - 3.11.99.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64 error:

Hi All, This has to be something simple....but it's really busting my chops. We have a PXE boot server that is used for initial installation of a number of operating systems and it works well. However the CentOS 5.1 x86_64 install is seriously broken. We've made the PXE boot images available from "centos/5/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/" in the tftp boot etc. We've rsynced

I have a Dell 1950 box on evaluation with 2 SATA drives connected to the on board Dell PERC 5/i with the disks set up as a mirror I've installed CentOS4.4 (x86_64) on the system and now I'm trying to install/configure/use the Dell OpenManage tools that came on a CD with the system. I've installed the tools using the provided install script and they appeared to install OK.

Centos continues to fall behind in with the state of bluetooth development. Nothing new from 5.1 to 5.2. Has anyone got a more recent version working and have compile and rpm build instructions? Here are the rpms that I have: bluez-gnome-0.5-5.fc6.i386.rpm bluez-hcidump-1.32-1.i386.rpm bluez-libs-3.7-1.i386.rpm bluez-utils-3.7-2.el5.centos.i386.rpm bluez-utils-cups-3.7-2.el5.centos.i386.rpm

Error: mount.ocfs2: Transport endpoint is not connected while mounting /dev/sdc1 on /u02, could not mount /dev/sdc1.

Add EMC SAN as shared disk and visable for two nodes. 3. configure int-rac1 using ocfs2console, add two nodes 4. according

I responded to a post in the Dell poweredge mailing list earlier today. My answer was off the top of my head, with a bit of experimentation. The content may be useful in the Cenyos context as well to admin's looking to strip the size of an install to the bare bones. Comment welcomed. Can anyone see any packages which I have missed? -- Russ Herrold ---------- Forwarded message

Has anyone here managed to send files from a mobile phone to a CentOS system via Bluetooth? I'm trying with a Samsung E1310, using the GNOME tools, but can't get it to work. I can send files from the Linux box to this phone using the Nautilus bluetooth plugin (nautilus-sendto-bluetooth), and have also managed to "pull" some data I've been trying to send, via

Hi, Has any one know how to skip ix86 packages from installation in Centos kickstart? Most of our machines have 64bit Intel/AMD CPUs, and it make non-sense to still keep 32bit compatibility. Even worse of i*86 packages is, when upgrade we have to recompile both ix86 version and x86_64 version to get an automatic yum upgrade. I know we could use 'exclude' option to exclude i*86 packages

I am having no luck getting NIS to work on a clean install of CentOS 6. It seems to be an issue with ypbind. I have simple /etc/yp.conf which explicitly sets the server domain myDomain server myServer The service seems to start okay #service ypbind start Starting NIS service: [OK] Binding NIS service: ? [OK] But when I try to use any of the yp services, like ypwhich #ypwhich ypwhich:

Hi I''m trying to ensure ypbind and yp-tools are not installed BUT they one of the rare group of rpms that require each other. I have package { "yp-tools": ensure => absent, require => Package["ypbind"], } package { "ypbind": ensure => absent, require =>

Hi, My brain is hurting a bit over this one. How does one delete ypbind cleanly from a RHEL6 box? It has a dep of yp-tools. No problem...I add both to the uninstall list in hiera; packages_oel6_absent: <snip> - ypbind - yp-tools SNIP from manifest; $packagesabsent = hiera("${packages_key}_absent",''nil'') if

Here is the output from yum -y upgrade without the error parts... Its odd because it updated all of these first time round. I have dared reboot the box yet, for fear it won't come back up... Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up Repos Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. --->

We use NIS (ypbind) and Kerberos at work for all our Linux and Unix systems. Home directories are mounted via autofs from an NIS map. Everything works just fine as long as all network resources are available (however, things turn ugly when the NIS servers are not reachable). Some users also want to start using laptops and bring them home or on trips to continue working while not at

Hi, all. I use this kickstart file to install CentOS 5.2 (both i386 and x86_64), but i can't config NICs and hostname during installation, what's wrong with it? Thanks very much. ----<- kickstart file ----<---- # System authorization information #auth --useshadow --enablemd5 # System keyboard #keyboard us # System language #lang en_US # Installation logging level #logging

so, i just installed CentOS on our server and set up NIS using the same configuration as on our other server, but the clients' ypbind services complain that although they can find the correct server, the server does not respond to requests. to debug this, i've: * pinged the server using its ip and it's name * ssh'ed to the server using it's ip and name *

We just updated our configuratiosn to have multiple NIS servers, when we initiated a test of client failover, we were disapointed. It seemed that the only way to get a filaover was to /etc/init.d/ypbind restart. It behaves as indicated in http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5084845 using ypbind-1.17.2-13 on Centos 4.5 / Linux xxxxxxxxxxxx 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov

I ran into a problem today while trying to compile chan_cellphone version 17 on a CentOS 4.4 machine. Apparently the bluez and autoconf versions were to old and as I tried to install the latest version, I found that the new bluez-lib would install and allow the chan_cellphone to compile, but bluez-utils required an update to D-sub which in turn required python 2.4 or better. That apparently in not

I am trying to a install Centos 5.1 32-bit Xen HVM DomU onto a Centos 5.1 64bit DomU with the default xen installed and the kickstart hangs at random points during the install process. Sometimes retrieving the image, sometimes formatting the filesystem, sometimes installing the packages,etc. I tried upgrading to xen 3.2 and encounter the same problem before rebuilding back to stock Centos 5.1
