Hey Nels, I recently (within the last couple of days) updated the FAQ with fresh, up-to-date information. What achitectures are supported? cAos x86 currently and x86_64 (AMD64) soon CentOS-2 x86 only (sorry) CentOS-3 x86 currently and x86_64 (AMD64) soon Get it from the source here: http://caosity.org/index.php?option=faq&task=viewfaq&artid=3&Itemid=5 I was told that AMD64

John, I did not hear back from you right away. Maybe doing all the combinations is too big a job for one person. It might work if we split them up. I could do these two: RedHat 9 -> reinstall CentOS-3.1 RedHat 9 -> live update to CentOS-3.1 I am volunteering for these because I already have RedHat 9 and CentOS-3.1 CD's. The only rub is on Saturday I go on vacation, and at

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

Christopher, I have a couple of other points. My recent email with the subject "nVIDIA on CentOS 3.3" was specifically in response to Kevin Wood's Fri, 17 Sep 2004 email with the subject "Does the nvidia graphic card problem still exist with CentOS-3.3?". The wording of my email came out wrong because I was responding to Kevin's email (which I copy below, along

Hey, Lance mentioned yum group install. This yum group capability makes the "server" CD's more versatile than the name implies -- you only need a broadband connection to get any kind of CentOS install you want. Start with a minimal install off the CD, and then use the yum group install to conveniently get the same install you could get off the 3 CD set (only more up to date).

John, Would you like to take a first crack at the text for the migration center? You could then run it by this group. If we get something that is good enough not to get shot down here, I will work it into the web site. If we decide to go with separate sites, the text could just be copied over, so there would be no wasted effort. Rick --- centos-request at caosity.org wrote: Message: 8

Denis, You wrote: > You may have problems on your side...but you can't generalise and say that it does not work. Maybe you have me confused with someone else. I did not write or imply that nVIDIA cards never work. Rather, I wrote that they may not work. By this, I meant that they do not work with some monitors. I checked what I wrote, and I believe the above paragraph is

How could this happen? Here is my explanation: 1) As far as I am aware, the cAos site does NOT ask distro users to download from public mirrors, rather than from

Hey, > check-update sounds better than putting yum update in a cron job. Only a mad man would do that! Are the cAos and CentOS releases THAT BAD? > Much better to run a daily cron which rsyncs your local patch repository. So must one have your own local repository to avoid being labeled as a madman? In which one of the RedHad reference books can I find this? Just curious. Rick

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

Apt is currently only supported in CentOS-4 and only on the i386 arch. apt, apt-devel and synaptic are "extras" packages for CentOS-4.0 i386. That means they are included
