So how does one accomplish this if say the snap is now deemed the copy of interest? I am hoping dd is not the only answer:) Thanks! jlc

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

Hi all, I don't see xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.7.i386.rpm in the CentOS4 x86_64 updates repo. It is listed in the security announcement: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-April/013658.html I see the 4 other i386 packages there: devel, deprecated-libs, Mesa-libGL, and Mesa-libGLU. Just the libs package is missing. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin

I have weird problem. I'll try to build rpm-package from Brian Lane's Digitemp. Everything seems to go OK, but..... Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.50782 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + cd digitemp-3.5.0 + install -d -m 755 /var/tmp/digitemp-buildroot/usr/local/bin/ + install -s -g lock -m 2755 digitemp_DS9097U /var/tmp/digitemp-buildroot/usr/local/bin/ + install

Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself? For example, if I have this: public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228 ... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following: $ ln releases/site-latest public_html I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected.

I'm writing a script that has logging via a simple routine: LogIt() { Msg="$1" echo "$THISSCRIPT: $Msg" echo "$Msg" >>$LogFile } #A portion of this script sends a file via ftp: # ftp -vn >$tempfile <<$$EOD : : $$EOD #Then reads the temporary file to log while read line do LogIt $line Done <$tempfile rm -f $tempfile

Dear friends: Using Centos 5. I have two physical drives. During install, I made sure to check hdb as well as hda. Both were listed as partitions (which is correct). But my fstab file does not show hdb. How do I make sure that hdb has been formatted and is part of my file system. If hdb is not formatted, how do I format it, please. Sorry for the question. I am a newbie. d[sher at localhost

Hi, Sorry for the little bit off-topic. I have a script that has to performe a hash over a password. Problem is that sha512sum expects CTRL-D to be pressed to return to the command prompt. I've searched all over Google, but either I didn't do the right search or there is nothing relevant about this. Bottom line is that I need this command to print the password hash and returns to the

I'd like to install NagiosQL on CentOS, but I don't see a yum package for it, so I'm going to download the source code. If I download it, where in CentOS's file system (i.e. in which directory) is the best place to untar, compile, and run it? (Sorry, I've been spoiled by packages!)

I have seen people on the list say you can yum groupinstall everything yet when I tried their method, it didn't work Is there actually a way other than making a script with all the info in it? - rh

How do I control the order in the network manager? I have read the little doc on it. And I want wireless before wired, for example. If multiple wireless, I want to be at least asked, or to set my priority (like I could do in wpa_supplicant.conf).

Hi I am trying to use Bind as named. And I have successfully set up a chrooted bind. Anyway, I cannot have it resolve "www" directly. For example, when I am using nslookup, when enter www.example.com, it will resolve. But when enter www, it will not. I want to have www resolve to www.example.com, what should I do? I have already set $ORIGIN in the zone file, but it does not work.

hi all, If I have a shell script on 5.1 that has 2 commands in the script... command1 command2 and command1 runs until it is kill'ed by some other process. Sometimes command2 runs and sometimes it doesnt (this is what it seems like). How can I be ensured that command2 will always run after command1 is killed? The script is not killed just command1.
