similar to: New to Centos, and linux in general

I used google but did not come up with anything current to solve my problem. I have not tried any other search engines yet. There is not a search for the CentOS list so I am creating a new post. I have tested the CentOS 5.2 and RHEL 5.3 CD's and they passed. I had to use linux mediacheck ide=nodma to get them to pass. The newest releases seem to most times fail with just linux mediacheck. I

Hi all, Let me start off with a little back ground. I am running right now RH9 fully updated on a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC with 512megs of Ram, 18G SCSI HD. I run this at home so this is no critical server, unless you ask my girls when I have it down, I have been debating on upgrading to Fedora until I started looking at CentOS. I have download the ISO and burned them with X-CD-Roast. Here

Just curious, maybe some old timers could help me out. I am working with a company that is migrating 20 years of Mainframe Software Development to Unix, HPUX. How much harder would it be to go to Linux, Centos Linux? Also, anyone have any experience with Fujitsu Cobol on Centos? The Fujitsu people only support Red Hat, and said I'd be on my own with Centos. In other words if it works,

The following errata for CentOS-2 have been built and uploaded the the centos mirror: RHSA-2004:634-01 Updated zip package fixes security issue Files available: zip-2.3-10.1.i386.rpm More details are available from the RedHat web site at https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rh21as-errata.html The easy way to make sure you are up to date with all the latest patches is to run: # yum update -- John

I have problems getting the TIMEOUT value work the same way LILO/GRUB does it.. ie it should wait until the timeout and then use the default value. However, it goes straight for the default value without waiting a single second (and a TIMEOUT value of 500 should mean 50 seconds, as it counts in 1/10th of a second, right?)

Listee's... I have a 5.5 box and I have formatted a partition as ext4 however I can't mount it, the mount command is telling me its an unknown file system type. fsck tells me the partition is a clean ext4 partition but I can't mount it. Some reasearch has lead me to believe the problem is that ext4 isn't enabled in the kernel by default in 5.5 (this was originally a 5.2 box that

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, everyone. I added a new guide for installing and configuring the OCS Inventory NG server/client system on CentOS 5.x. Also, there's some brief explanations for integrating it into GLPI. I added it under non CentOS applications, since I think it fits in best there. Regards, Max - -- # find .

I thought I'd be clever and buy a DVD for 5.2 from LinuxOnline.biz. Well, just got around to trying it with the above results. Does the error mean I have a 'bad' DVD disk image? Please advise. Thanks.

After failing to install on two different machines that were running Windows, I realized that one machine had a bad hard-drive, and the other bad memory. So I've collected the good parts into one machine and installed CentOS with SME. This was the fastest install of Linux I have every seen, 15 minutes done, configured, and running, web and email server. It is a very secure config, no GUI

Hello All, I recently installed CentOS 5 and was trying to locate the kernel-smp packages but without success. Have these packages been removed from the distro or renamed? Does anyone know how many processors the default kernel will handle and if it's optimzed for it? Thanks, james

I need to verify some directories of backed up data versus restored data. What would you recommend as the type of comparison to do, and which tool would give the easiest/most usable output? Thanks! jlc

Can anyone recommend something for tracking assets particularly computer. I'm looking to capture: hostname OS/arch Hardware info(cpu, mem, etc) Function(i.e. what is the machine used for) -Mark

Hi to all, I am trying to install CentOS 5.5 as VM on a KVM server running Ubuntu 10.04. The Problem: the installer does not find the iso image. (Direct copy from website downlod.) I can start CentOS from the iso and can even do some disk checks. But when I go further the installer says "no CDROm found". Pretty weird. I tried all CentOS 5.5. image available (Live CD, net install, bin 1

I have tried to use isolinux 2.05, and I am running into a problem where it will not boot. I have previously used version 1.66, and the older version works just fine. Changing nothing except dropping the new version in does not work. Below is all of the relevant info, I believe. This occurs on multiple machines with different BIOS. I am currently in process of doing a binary search to find the

I am having problems burning DVD's from commandline. I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck using cdrecord-2.01 and cdrtools that is supposed to add DVD support?

Having fought my PXE config and eventually getting it to work (had to comment out the group { } statments ? I now come across another issue I cannot resolve and would appreciate some help. in my /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file I have cause to use the APPEND statement to pass options to the kernel being used.

Dear community I've just noticed that the CentOS 4.0 ISO's I downloaded from ftp.sunsite.org.uk fails the media check on installation. All four fail. The md5 checks pass and I've done 5 full installations from the set of failed cd's and no problems what so ever. I never bothered to do the media check untill a friend asked me what it does... The installation works, wonder what the

I tried installing with several options (noacpi noapm; noprobe; noprobe skipddc noacpi noapm nodma). Always I get the same error. BUT this is not in fac a CentOS problem at all, because I get the same error always when I boot from hd (Fedora Core), IF there is a CD in the CD-ROM drive. (I tried with CentOS 1/4, CentOS 2/4 and a HP printer software CD.) It must be something with the CD drive!
