Hello. I did try to find out some information about centos-yumconf, but I didn't find any. I would like to know what centos-yumconf rpm is made for and what it does (just overwrite the yum.conf file, or copy things from the original and create a new one ?). I dont' really understand the necessity of this package, because I thought that the version upgrade was made through the $releasever

Has anyone yet tried PXE booting the vmlinuz/initrd.img set from Centos 4.0beta2? I have a pxelinux setup that is booting 3.4 PXE images fine, but the equivalent setup for 4.0beta loads the kernel and then splashes the monitor full of multicolor random characters. Not a good start to an install... Anyone had luck? Any changes for PXE boots known for 4.0? Thanks in advance. -Alan

centos-yumconf has been updated to include (but disable) all optional centos repositories. This would allow a user to update / install from an optional repository without needing to modify the configuration files. Example: If you wanted to install a package named foo from the optional repositry named centosplus, you would use the following command: yum --enablerepo=centosplus install foo see

Hi, I need yum-arch on RHEL4, yum does not come with RHEL4 so I took the CentOS package, but this one requires a yumconf package (satisfied by centos-yumconf) which I thought was pretty strange. Why does one require a yumconf package uberhaupt ? Why are we limiting a generally useful package to CentOS (or a system that provides yumconf) ? I know you can fix it in several ways, but I'm

I need to update a CentOS 4.0 system to CentOS 4.3. In my opinion, I should start out with a "yum update yum centos-yumconf" and then follow that with a "yum update". Does anyone have any other input as to what other packages might be needed to be updated with yum and centos-yumconf before the mass upgrade? Thanks, Barry

Hello.

Now if I type: 'telnet 192.168.0.30 25' on the same host the connection is refused. It also refuses connections from another host. I have edited the

Hi everybody. I know that we can normally install source rpms designed for RH9 and FC1, but can we also install the binary RPMs for RH9 and/or FC1 on a CentOS 3 system ?

Hello several months ago I install WhiteBox Linux on several severs, I was happy, not woriing about upgrading every 1,5 year as when I use RH 4.0, 6.0, 7.3, 9.0 .... And then WhiteBox went black, WBEL updates release slowed down and maintainer wont help form anybody. Just telling "If you want quick updates, build it yourself.". I prefer wasting time for customizations and/or

Hello. I have installed CentOS 4 on a server in a hosting company and I realise that not all packages have been installed.

My goal is to have the exact replicate as the default CentOS 4

Something like,: ACCEPT any loc tcp ssh Which

I have a SGI Altix 350 (ia64) that came with RHAS 4, but without any paid support. I would like to migrate the server over to CentOS. Here is what I've pieced together from some older posts by Johnny, can someone confirm this should work? I know this is somewhat covered in the FAQ, although both entries refer to FC or WBEL, which already have built-in yum support. Install the
