I took my anaconda-ks.cfg file, cp to ks.cfg and copied to a floppy The isos have been copied to an ftp server. So I had the following lines in my ks.cfg intall url ftp://10.1.1.1// (yes the ftp server's directory is the Centos directory) This is along with all the appropriate network command to get the ethernet setup. I issue the linux ks=floppy (also tried linux

Hi, First, I want to precise that I'm new to linux, so please answear with simple words ;) My problem is that I have to install and configure linux (RH9) on 36 identical computers. This would take ages. What I want to do, is to configure one, and then clone the install. But thos computers have no CD, no floppy, and I didn't manage to boot them brom an usb stick. The last option is to

I have had some success (read no noticed problems), moving some text conf files from a Win <cr,lf> format to Linux and have them work. For example my zone files, moving them from my Win DNS server. But what about other files? I guess I want to know this more to prevent a mistake from crashing things, as I do have GEDIT. If I were to build an anaconda-ks.cfg in notepad, write it to a

I am building three identical systems. Well they will have different host names, and with time the software setups will drift. But at install time they are identical. Is there some way, (with dd I might guess) to do a hardare level copy? All three drives are Hitachi DK23DA-40F (40Gb). Supposedly factory reconditioned (they are in sealed bags with a drive sticker stating: "Refurbished

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 Version: 4.0.1-1 Severity: grave Tags: squeeze upstream Some newer hardware components (it is unclear what exactly causes the issue) render xen-hyervisor unusable as it crashes immediately after boot for the Debian out-of-box configuration. This results in a system rebooting all over again if the hypervisor is choosen as default stanza to be booted by grub

tftp keeps timing out when I try to transfer files. I intend to use tftp with G4U to clone a standard workstation. I am testing it between two Dell poweredge servers running CentOS 4.3. "chkconfig --list |grep tftp" shows tftp up and running on both boxes. When connected "tftp>status" shows it is talking to the other box "tptp>trace" shows "sent WRQ

Good day everyone - This maybe somewhat OT, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good tool for cloning *nix drives. The one thing though is that I will be cloning a smaller drive than the destination drive and would like to distribute the free space accordingly on the new drive. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance. :::::::::::::::::::::: Dustin

Hello list, I try to do an automated network installation of centos 5.2, following the redat documentation at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/pt-install-info.html However, when installing I get promptet for various things, like which network interface I would like to use for installation, or the location of the install medium. But thats not what I

Hi, I'm running a small Linux consulting business here in a group of small villages in the South of France (http://www.microlinux.fr). I'm using CentOS for everything, servers as well as desktops. The desktop installs are usually highly customized. My approach is to list the client's needs, find the corresponding applications and then install these, to avoid the bloat and

Over the last couple of weeks, additional software was installed using the package manager. I would like to get a custom kickstart file created for our system. For this, I would like to get complete list of software installed so they may be add to the kickstart file package selection. Can anyone tell me if this can be done? If it can, please give me instructions? Finally, where on

Wow! With all the conversations here, and some things on my system, I am seriously thinking of taking another drive, install 4.4 on it, and then move my /home partition (I planned for such eventualities by putting /home on its own partition). Couple of questions: I did my current build with a ks.cfg on a floppy. Can I use the same information for 4.4 as I did for 4.3? That is none of

Hello all We have two very important workstations dedicated to tasks of development and investigation. At the moment we have installed a dual boot platform with CentOS 4.0 and Windows XP Proffessional SP2. In order to do backups of these machines we need to create an image with Norton Ghost 2003. We have worked with Ghost during several years with different platforms (Red Hat, White Box Linux,

Hi, I have a project where I have to backup (copy /dev/hda on a server) and recover (copy back) hardrives from the clients. I tried this with rsync using: BACKUP: rsync /dev/hda user@host:/path/to/image RECOVER: rsync user@host:/path/to/image /dev/hda There is a problem when accessing devices like /dev/hda. The transfer aborts after a few seconds with the error message: write failed on

After getting my feet wet with asterisk@home, I want to set up a second asterisk box to add a call shop billing and other add-ons such as LCR. My question is as follows. Is there a backup program that will save to a tape drive or a USB CD Writer so if I mess up an install I don't have to go through a complete reinstall? I saw a few programs out there but they required X windows and from

I know this is a basically meaningless milestone, but for some reason it means something to me. For the first time (as far as I know), #puppet on irc.freenode.net has more users than #cfengine: 21 vs. 19. Admittedly, that''s a low user count for #cfengine, but I''ll take it. :) -- Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or

Wayne, Rsync 3.0.0 has been under development for 8 months now, but its final release still appears to be a very long way off, and at least one person has expressed interest in having a copy of rsync 3.0.0 to try out ( http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-February/017372.html ). I encourage you to make a "milestone" release of rsync 3.0.0 (like the Eclipse people do) and encourage

I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific stuff split out into separate configs. I've tried this configuration... [root at archive kickstart]# cat
