Hello, There was no problem installing "APT" package in CentOS 4.0 Beta, but so far I could not install APT or Synaptic by "# yum install apt" or by "# yum install synaptic" in a usual manner. Is there any solution for this? It seems to me, something is wrong only for these two packages. Regards.

I have the great pleasure to announce that the cAos Foundation has been given the right to an exhibitor booth at the upcoming LinuxWorld Expo in Boston, Massachusetts from February 15th - 17th. (More info here: http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/events/12BOS05A). This is a awesome opportunity to further cAos and CentOS linux. But I do not feel that we should give 1/2 an effort. I feel that

Hi all, I have a Dell server, CentOS 5.6 64 bits, on which I configured the CR repository. I just tried to update to 5.7, and had this error : # yum update .... http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/cr/x86_64/repodata/filelists.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. Error: failure: repodata/filelists.sqlite.bz2 from cr: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. You could

Hey, Greg suggested that I take a straw poll. Should cAos take steps to prevent getting stuck with a big ISP bill in the future? For example, should cAos: a) for new installs, have the yum.conf point to public mirrors, rather than to mirror.caosity.org? b) make sure that "yum update" does not substitute a new yum.conf file that points only to mirror.caosity.org? c) allow public

I downloaded and installed apt and synaptic using yum ok, but are there corresponding apt repo's for the yum ones?

Hello everybody, I'm trying to get work a win32 application (for NT) that communicate with a lots of modems (30-40). No problems if I configure the modem on the first two com ports, but I cannot make it run if I ask it to use, for example, COM10, COM11, etc.. The command is: wine --winver nt40 gpcwin.exe Here is the error: fixme:win32:DEVICE_Open Unknown VxD COM10. Try --winver nt40 or win31

sorry for the massive cross-post, but I wanted to make sure that I get everyone that needs to know this. Mirror.caosity.org is having problems keeping up with all of the mirrors. Rsync is a memory hog when dealing with large repositories, and mirror just can't handle it. I am migrating mirror.caosity.org to a new host which should be able to handle the load better. Also, I will be limiting

Hi, does anyone have plans on adding an apt repository? I used apt-get with Synaptic RH8 with fedoralegacy.org which made things so much easier to manage compared to yum/up2date. Freshrpms provides some instructions here: http://freshrpms.net/apt/server/ Unfortunately I do not have the bandwidth to offer it myself. btw - does anyone have an idea why up2date says it wants to downgrade after the

Hello gillian, You can try adding these options to the kernel commandline and it might help: noapic iommu=off The 2.4/2.6 hybrid kernel that RedHat supplies with RHEL3 has some issues with some AMD64 motherboards AFAIK, and the above options made the CentOS 3's kernel bootable for me on one of our systems. BTW - I've moved this to the CentOS mailing list, that is a more appropriate forum

Greetings. I have just successfully updated a RH-9 file server to CentOS-3.1. I'm VERY impressed. I have a client who has 4 Redhat servers (1 x 7.3 and 3 x 9.0) that I would like to migrate to CentOS-3.1. Question: My client is willing to send a donation for these boxes but they just want to send you (caosity.org) a check that will cover the next couple of years. Who do we make the

Can Synaptic be used successfully on CentOS 4.4 instead of YumEx ? Are there any issues using Synaptic with the CentOS 4.4 repositories ?

It should be looking at /6/ instead of a specific point release. We (CentOS) do not provide updates for individual point releases. You are several years behind in security and bug-fix updates. Once a specific minor version is expired, it is moved off the main mirrors and into the vault. The current iteration of the /6/ tree is 6.7, so everything below that is no longer available on the mirrors.
