Looks like there are NO command line options on system-config-network. Like -d eth0 or -d eth1 I used those alot when 2 network cards are in a box. Can netconfig be brought back to life? Can I just install the one from 5.0 on new boxes?\ Jerry

I changed my X driver from nvidia to xv. Now when I vncviewer into my machine it KILLS my current logged in user. When I try to login it accepts my login looks like its going to do it then kills my X windows screen. When I reconnect I'm back at a login again. This is for my account user geis.

I have a box I just installed centos 4.5 on.

Is there a method to display pop up messages on X display? I found xmessage, however I was hoping for something a little more flexible. like being able to tell xmessage to display a file (typically one line in the file). then send it a signal to tell it to re-read the file and show the new data. Sure I can kill it and re-show it but that isnt very nice... Is there something available in centos

I am trying to find a way to set auto login for a machine under X using the command line. I presume I want to use gconftool-2 to do that. Under the old X centos 4 I edited /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf This file no longer exists under X 7 for centos 5. I cant find a way to "show all" under gconftool-2 so that I can see what the key/value pair should be. When I do "gconftool-2 -a "

Is 5.3 and ext4 going to be safe? I have seen a couple reports of data loss using ext4? Has this already been fixed? What does the list recommend? ext3/ ext4? Thought maybe today we would start seeing 5.3 showing up... Looking forward to it. Jerry

grabbed my DVD and did an install. When partitioning the disk I did not see a selection for ext4. Is this enabled after the fact some how? Jerry

Hi all, There are many packages in centos. Does there exist a "listing" of packages that have the dual licensing? By dual license I mean packages not just GPL licensing in a commercial setting. Thanks, Jerry

On centos 5.3 x86_64 I can add "traceenable off" to httpd.conf and that works well. however this doesnt seem to work for centos 4.7 i686. Is there a similiar named option on 4.7? Jerry

Does 5.4 come with an updated openoffice. 5.3 comes with version 2.3 was wondering if 5.4 will have 3.1 thanks Jerry

I have searched the bugzilla and seamonkey has bugs when using "-remote openurl(www.google.com)" it always opens a new window. Mozilla did not have this problem. How can I continue to use the old mozilla? Both for system updates and for new 4.4 installs. I need the -remote functionality to not open new windows. Thanks, Jerry
