similar to: centos 5.1 i386 on a 1GIG flash

Hi all, Advance apologies if this is OT; if so, please mail me offlist. A client is considering using CentOS5.1 for an embedded project. They will be booting from Compact Flash. The CF in the device is being controlled by a VIA VT6421 SATA/RAID controller. Are there drivers available or must we truly 'roll our own' when compiling the 2.6x kernel for this? I've done some

I am trying to build Miredo 1.1.5 (http://www.remlab.net/miredo/devel.shtml.en) I have followed the rpmbuild instructions from: http://www.owlriver.com/tips/non-root/, and have the miredo source in ~/build/miredo-1.1.5. I run ./configure (as the INSTALL text file tells me to do) and get the error: checking for Judy.h usablity... no checking for Judy.h presence... no checking for Judy.h...

Greetings, I wanted to enable blackhole and CSV engine in the mysql server so downloaded the SRPM from Centos Site, setup the rpmbuild envronment with mighty help from the our own Russ's Owlriver website and tried building it. I have a 5.2 centos box on which I need to enable this so took the 5.2 SRPM (mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.src.rpm) from vault.centos.org.(mysql The Build did not complete

All, I am installing a BOXD915GAVL system and centos 4. The CPU is a 2.8 GIG celeron D with 1GIG memory and 120GIG Seagate drive. Is is VERY slow. What gives? Any other experience with something like this? It is installing but even after install when booting it is taking VERY long time to even get to the Checking new hardware screen. Thanks, Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An

I responded to a post in the Dell poweredge mailing list earlier today. My answer was off the top of my head, with a bit of experimentation. The content may be useful in the Cenyos context as well to admin's looking to strip the size of an install to the bare bones. Comment welcomed. Can anyone see any packages which I have missed? -- Russ Herrold ---------- Forwarded message

You're definitely missing bits of texlive. Lots of "missing file: mf" in your debug logs. I think you need to start with installing texlive-metafont. Alternately, there are pre-built R 3.6.2 packages for EL-7 here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1421894 I cannot push them as official updates to EPEL because of the catch-22 created by R's dependency on

I'm using rsync on an embedded powerpc platform with flash filesystem. Because of a power-cycle a local file got corrupted. This file is /flashfs/isd1, it has the correct size but wrong MD5SUM (cd5...). Using rsync to retrieve the right file (from a remote machine) fails! If I delete the file first, it works (see below). How is this possible ? --- N. van Bolhuis. # md5sum /flashfs/isd1

I followed the setup instructions from http://www.owlriver.com/tips/non-root/ (link from the Centos wiki). All this is done on another 'clean' system, so I have to read the terminal screen there and tell what went wrong here. I then followed my colleague's instructions to get the tar, untar, autogen, configure, and finally make rpm. Well it was that make rpm command that finally

I'm trying to clone a volume in a storage pool and I'm following the steps described here: http://libvirt.org/docs/libvirt-appdev-guide-python/en-US/html/libvirt_application_development_guide_using_python-Storage_Pools-Cloning.html My code looks like: destXML = """ <volume>

Hi there, Is there a utility to create an EXT3 file system image from directories? Just like the mkfs.jffs2 which creates a JFFS2 file system image from directories? The "mke2fs -j" only creates the bare bone file system, what I want is to build an image with pre-built content. Thanks, Debbie

Gents, I first installed the 32 bit version (as you might have read) of centos 4.2, after downloading x86_64 the install process/progress is about the same. going VERY slow... The screen for formatting the partitions took a LONG time (3 partitions 10 GIG, 2 GIG swap and 50 GIG). While on that screen and moving the mouse it lagged big time and could not keep up. Anyway just reporting that so far

Hi, i try to create a openWRT Samba 4.3 package and stumbled across the fact that samba 4.3 will create those message socks inside the private-dir. That results in creating entries inside /etc/samba/msg.sock. On openWRT /var is a tempFS in ram, so anything there is not a problem regarding nvram and wear leveling. Yet the root uses a jffs2 overlay. So while those message socks have no size, jffs2

Dear list, I would like to plot the empirical cumulative distribution of the time needed by a treatment to attain a certain goal. A number of experiments is run with a strict time limit. In some experiments the goal is attained before the time limit, in other experiments time expires before the goal is attained. The situation is very similar to survivial analysis with censored data. I tryed

Hi, I am switching a few specific servers with CentOS 4.2 and I'd like to use in some a flash disk (CF card). Unfortunately the minimum size of a centos install seems to be around 600 Mb (at least that's what I got) and 1 Gb card are still expensive and, IMHO too big if all you want is a gateway/iptables machine or a NFS server. There are other OSes and even distros that have a smaller

Hi! and a warm hello to the CentOS team. I have a work for which I need some solution from you. Actually we have some thin clients where we want to put a light weight Linux distro for users. As of now I have tested with Fedora and Ubuntu distros but the issue I am finding is they are not able to fit in my requirement of flash based hard disk consumption (~500 MB). although a distro named TinyME

Dear, I'm having some strange problems with Samba. I have shared a linux folder on my samba and have mapped it to a drive letter in Windows XP (I also tried with Windows 2000). When I right click my mapped drive and click on properties to view the free space and capacity, I get all garbage as can be seen from the screenshot at: http://www.nuonsoft.com/temp/samba_free_space.jpg I'm running

hi all, I use rsync to copy/backup ALL my stuff to another disk. When I run this seems like my machine (4 GIG ram centos 5.1) now begins to swap out more programs. Is there a way to reduce that swapping? I am running with echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness I simply mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup; mkdir /mnt/backup/month.day.year then rsync -a /home /mnt/backup/mon.day.year This is approximately
