(I'm doing tests in a VirtualBox instance, so take this with a grain of salt.) If you give the VM only 512 MB of RAM, the text-mode installer kicks in. It does not prompt you to configure anything related to the network or hostname. The system boots up without a network interface configured. Also, it won't let you choose the install mode, I guess it defaults to Minimal (which is fine

What is the best way to monitor the total incoming / outcoming network traffic of CentOS server.

Hi I received this request from a user and could not find the solution. I would like to know if someone already solved this: "At the command prompt I used to be able to type the first letter of a line command and then by using the up arrow key, scroll through all of the line commands, that begin with that letter, that I had previously executed." It's a machine with CentOS-5.3,

Hi. I had to update the BIOS of a Silicon Image 3512A Serial ATA controller. I''m not using RAID. When I run the updater program (updflash.exe), it asks me to choose flash memory from a list, something like: AMD Am29F010B (1 Megabit), AMD Am29LV01B (1 Megabit), etc. How can I find out which is flash memory of the controller? Thanks Marcelo

Hi After upgrading a machine from RHEL-4.5 to 5.2, the Gnome doesn't start anymore. There are strange messages when I issue the command "startx" (I'm using inittab=3). The message is nautilus: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: pango_language_get_default Where is the information to "nautilus" look in /usr/local/bin? Thanks

Hi all, Curious issue.. looking in to how much disk space is being used on a machine (CentOS 5.3).

Is it even remotely possible to run MacOSX (or Darwin) as VM under CentOS 5.10 / xen? Or am I better off not even trying and just getting a MacMini or MacBook to just jack into my LAN? I just need a 'build box' and possibly something to do light testing (eg does the program run? Does the GUI come up?). I don't really have the *physical* room for an iMac, unless the screen is tiny.

I saw something somewhere about AHCI support requiring kernel 2.6.19 or later. But the current CentOS/RHEL stable kernels are 2.6.18 I'm trying to run CentOS/RHEL in a VirtualBox vm, which by default creates sata virtual disks with an AHCI virtual controller. These virtual machines are quite unstable, and I'm wondering if the AHCI virtual controller is the problem. I do have a real

My machine has a static IP, with dhcp and IPv6 disabled. Every time I reboot, some process rewrites /etc/resolv.conf, including a comment about dhcpclient. The only package I have installed that shows up in "rpm -qa|grep -i dhcp" is dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5, and nothing in there is named dhcpclient. I'd like to figure out what software is rewriting this file and why. man 5

When I install some RPMS like openoffice 3 on centos x85_64 is there some command that will leave all the actual files alone (leave them installed) but just remove the RPM name from the RPM database so centos now things the packages are not installed? Reason is I was wanting to do this so a next yum update does not get all confused... and the yum update happens just like I never installed
