Hello, I'm trying to do an unattended CentOS 5.3 install. For the most part it's working. As of right now i'm statically assigning the machine an IP which i believe will allow %post to resolve names? I also like knowing where the box will show up. I am however having a few issues and I'm probably thinking to complicated on them. My first one is the fact that updates aren't

Hello, This might be called a core build not completely positive. What i want to do is make a completely customized centos 5.4 unattended CD or DVt not only installs a specific list of apps apps that i want on each system, but configures them automatically perhaps via scripts, and enables or disables services etc. Basically, i want to drop the CD or DVD in a box which will probably not have a

We operate a cluster of Sun Xeon IA32 servers with Centos 3.5. Nodes are installed via a host-specific kickstart script which is generated for each node from a master template. Thus all kickstart scripts are clones of the master, edited for hostname, IP address etc only. The CENTOS 3.5 ISO images are exported from a server & that remote NFS mount is also configured in the master template.

Hello, I had problems with speed of Samba, so I was looking for some solution and I had discovered "use sendfile" configuration option. I was checking all Samba release notes and I had discovered, that from some version (older than is in CentOS repo) this option was turned on as default. So my question is, why in CentOS 5.3 is that option in default set to off? Thank you for responses

I have a crontab for Nobody. I tried to delete it in a root kcron, which I'm sure is how I dealt with this in the past, but it seems impossible to delete. Should I delete the file /var/spool/cron/nobody? It is owned root:root, perms 600. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

CenOS 5.4 x64 I'm stuck at the command-line. I'm only familiar with the RPM command, but AFAIK, that cannot automatically resolve any dependencies when installing packages. Is there a command-line utility that I can force to automatically install all the dependencies for a particular package? I seem to remember a new UI was added recently that could, but I have to complete this from a

Worried, ran yum -y update expecting to get the bind update but am concerned as to why the following instant messaging packages were installed as dependencies.

Hey I am just organizing the CentOS village at HAR and need a rough estimate of people who will be attending. What do people want? Shall the CentOS people have their own party tent? We are currently with the Fedora people. I will also post on the SL mailing list. Hope to see you all at HAR?

To safely make Perl modules from CPAN in Solaris, I used this procedure: mkdir /opt/cpan chmod 777 /opt/cpan chown joe:101 /opt/cpan PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:/opt/cpan export PERL5LIB /usr/perl5/bin/perlgcc -MCPAN -e shell Also, ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm specifically had 'makepl_arg' => q[LIB=/opt/cpan PREFIX=/opt/cpan INSTALLMAN3DIR=/opt/cpan/man/man3], Does this make sense in CentOS as

Dear All, I am attempting to install cacti on CentOS 5.3 64 bit, and I checked the wiki, only to find that the instructions are a bit out of date. Have these instructions been updated somewhere, or does anyone have updated instructions, maybe with known gotchas etc? --- Kind Regards, Mr Gabriel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Is it possible to add caching to a pipe? cat blah | in_RAM_cache_here -s SIZE | something else I'm doing what is essentially a cat (*) from a DVD directly to an NFS share. It looks like the two media (DVD and NFS) have very different read / write behaviors, speeds and timings, and the overall process is not as fast as possible.

Hi, Recently I build a filesystem in a device using mkfs.ext4 but when I tried to mount the device show this error: ??? mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' But when I build the same device with mkfs.ext4dev I can mont the device without problem. My doubt is when Centos 5.4 is released if I will have a problem because the partition is ext4dev. Thanks, -- Daniel Bruno

Hey folks, Once upon a time I saw some sed magic to take the output of "rpm -qa" and strip away all the version info to give just the RPM base names. And of course I forgot to note it :-/ And have not been able to replicate it myself. e.g. from this : avahi-0.6.16-1.el5 avahi-glib-0.6.16-1.el5 produce this : avahi avahi-glib thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've

I am installing centos 5.3 i386 in a virtual machine. I am using kvm-87 (which I use for other images just fine). The box installed fine, it boots up I can login but NONE of the services are starting . When watching the boot up process it goes from the "Welcome to CentOS 5.3 " directly to mounting the partitions and a login prompt. All the services are not being started. What

Hello: I have a Fedora Core 11 system at home (Centos 5.2 at work). I'd like to build vim with huge and perl. This works under Centos, but fails at home: no EXTERN.h or perl.h (and, presumably, other things). So: is there a yum package I should be downloading, and if so, which one? (both the home computer and the work computer are 64-bit systems) Thank you, Chip Campbell -- someday
