Hi fellows, Pretty new to CentOS. I was trying to find a way to boot CentOS into command prompt instead of GUI (or without loading any services). Tried using 'Crl+Alt+F1' at the boot process, but, that holds the screen at mounting and doing fstab and doesn't proceed further. Is there anyother way to boot CentOS into command prompt without using Rescue option from the installation CD?

Being as a Windows geek tho, I consider Linux as a more powerful server operating system than Windows. When I saw OS comparison at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/compare/linux/server-security.mspx I was shocked! Showed it to a friend and he felt like being brainwashed :D lol. What do you fellows think about this? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

I'm adding the default gateway to the route through "route add default gw 10.10.10.10" which is also shown in "route -n" but the problem is that as soon as I restart the network through /etc/init.d/network restart; the route sets to default one...! SO, my question is there any way to save the modified route permanently by hardcoding the changes? Thanks. -------------- next

Hi, I've recently switched to CentOS 5.0 from RedHat 9.0 and found a new directory /proc which contains "virtual" files according to the docs. When I try to run my normal backup which uses cpio to create archives, it complains about not being able to access many files in the /proc directory. This is also true of some files in /sys/devices. Searching for something that

Hi, After some months of configuring and testing a small server, think that would be nice to make a full server restore-point image in order to recover it if something goes wrong in the future, just restoring the image back and not making the full install and configure process all over again. The server uses Logical Volumes. I was thinking on using the CentOS LiveCD and then use dd command to

Hello, I have been using mondorescue to backup to dvd for several months now without any problems. Since upgrading to Centos 4.4, I now receive a few errors. The errors are for files in /var/named/chroot/proc. I guess these files change so when I do a differntial backup they aren't there and result in errors. (Never got any errors before and I think these files were there in 4.3) If I

I am trying to create a bootable cd from a working LFS 6.1 partition. Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this. This is the error I get: ISOLINUX 3.10 2008-08-24 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

As by the time, I've learned that Linux works by caching apps by using a lot of RAM and then it reallocates the new stuff by cleaning the old cached pages from memory as compared to other OSs. With 2 gigs of RAM often I see the free memory only as 100-400MB. Using TOP or PS, it doesn't look like any program or process is using excessive memory (the highest process is seen with 1-2% total

Hi, i have implemented in xorriso the equivalents of isohybrid.c options --mac and --uefi. There remains the question how to ensure that the submitted MBR is prepared for the 32 byte mock-up of an APM Block0.

I have restored my home directory in the past using rsync but never the entire system. If I rsync / (on my usb drive containing the backup) to / on the computer with a fresh install of the OS, what problems will I run into? What about links? I am presently triple booting 3 linux distros and want to delete one to install something else. The distro I'm installing will be on 3 partitions (/,

Hello all! I try mondo/mindi for some days now but it does not work and I don't know the reason. It is an intel Suse-8.0 Client and I use the Suse-8.0 packages from ftp.mondorescue.org. dhcp and tftp work fine. mondoarchive works, but I don't find any initrd.img for pxe/nfs. All initrd I have found ask for a CDROM and as they cannot find any they ask for a floppy when starting the pxe

Hi, I need to set up a small server for a group of ~10 employees (all using Windows 2000/XP, used to use a windows 2000/exchange setup). I have a linux server already running CentOS 4, so I'd like to do all I can with this. I thought about using Samba for file/print sharing and OpenXchange (commercial version) to have a nice collaborative/mail/calendar/etc server. Of course, it would

This is an issue I've researched quite a bit on bug lists, and looked in the Syslinux Wiki for a way to do this, but haven't yet found a solution. 1) I have an existing Fedora 13 LiveCD which I burned to a CD and tested on a system without issue. 2) I then took that same ISO and dropped it in my pxelinux.cfg/default for being able to boot over the network. I made sure to extract the

This is the second generation of the edit-livecd tool that replaces our original bash script with a python version and aims to reuse as much as the livecd-creator libraries as possible. The main reason for the new creator class is to avoid the need for a kisckstart file in order to edit an existing livecd image. edit-livecd is useful for people who don't have the development and yum
