Help with Ruby on Rails setup using Centos 4
Before asking questions about Ruby on Rails setup on CentOS 4, I want to
make sure that this forum is the proper place for those questions.
Are there any members who can help?
Many thanks...

Should I be worried?
When doing my updates, I got this message:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /boot/System.map-2.6.9-78.0.

Unfortunately, I installed Centos 4 about two years ago on my server
that sits in the corner and does it's job of faithfully providing
services without me touching it except to run a backup script and do a
YUM update every week so. The result is that I have

USBDisk question
I have an external USB drive, and when mounted, it was /media/usbdisk.
When I recently tried my rsync backup, a usbdisk1 had been created...I
guess by the auto-mounting (when the disk is turned on).
Is there a way to remove the usbdisk1 and set it up so that the
auto-mounting will use usbdisk? Or should I just leave it be? I needed
to change my command line for the rsync backup to

Creating the symbolic links in the /boot and /boot/grub/
I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long.
I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub,
however I need to make links for
/boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1)
/boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1)
/boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf)
If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate

How to add a HD to a LVM
I have connected a HD that was a prior system drive (Centos 4.8)
and I am not sure of the command line procedures to find out if
it is recognized (I believe it is since it present in the GUI),
delete all data on it and finally add it to the LVM.
I would like to use it as a backup data drive.

Formatting an external USB drive
I have an external USB drive that was formatted with NTFS and I
want to use it to backup some files from my Centos 5.5 system.
When I check my documentation, I am not certain of the best way
to do the formatting.
Suggestions welcomed....

Setting up a GUI remote access
Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba
providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more
reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux
(Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some
similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is
not locked up :-) ) with Samba.
What is the best VNC like application to

Permissions question
My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the
permissions are 775.
My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd".
Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a
group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint". Using this example, there
is a directory under www (acutally called httpd),

Best configuration for /var/www/html/
For a long period of time, my Apache root directory has been
/home/httpd. For security reasons, this is not so good as
SELinux has informed me. Now all of the files have been copied
to /var/www/etc with owner and group "root". The privileges are
754 (rwxr-xr--), however apache does not have access to them.
Should the owner be apache? Group?

Setting up rsync
About a year and a half ago, someone answered a request on how to set up
rsync so that the encryption was automatically setup (wish I knew more
about the technical aspects). It has been in use for the time since
then and it has been great. Now I have to replace the destination
computer and setting up, what I call the encryption part, is the part I
have forgotten how to do. This is the

Best way to add/update an installation
In an effort to prevent getting many minutes into an installation only
to have a CD read fail (I did verify the CD's first), I did a minimal
install. Can I use the minimal install to add the necessay packages for
a HTTP server and graphical interface?

Good book on Linux Admin (Centos 5.5)
My Admin books are out of date, so I need a new one that contains
info about the Linux as in Centos 5.5.
I am a "Sunday user"; not one earning a living as an Admin.
Recommendations welcomed....

P.S. Current book is "Linux System Administration, Second
Edition", by Vicki Stanfield and Roderick W. Smith (Sybex)

Default permissions for creating a new user
I know this is a Linux 101 question, however I am unable to
locate the answer in my O'Reilly Linux book: how to set the
default for permissions when creating a new user. The default
for the GUI in my newly installed Centos 5.5 is 700. I usually
use 774.
And when root creates a new directory, is there a way to have a
default there too?
Lastly, if root or someone with root privileges

Reformatting a USB drive
I have a USB drive that has been formatted as NTFS. Can I reformat it?
I have identified these properties about it
/dev/sda1
/media/Extrnl_Bkup
Not sure what to do next since the GUI will not mount a NTFS disk
(expected).

Backing up pass words
I am currently running CentOS 4 and want to install CentOS 5.
To do that, I plan to install a new HD in my server box onto
which CentOS will be installed. I will then copy the "home"
directory from the old drive or from a backup on a USB drive,
however I am not sure how to handle the Users/Passwords from the
old installation.
Many thanks...

Locked myself out of MySQL
Darn! I must have either made a typo or my use of a ";" in the
MySQL root password so now I am locked out.
Is there a work around or do I have to uninstall MySQL and reinstall?
