Chaps, Perhaps this question is a little basic for this list but I''m not really sure of the simplest method or best tool for the job. I''ve created some images with `dd=/dev/zero ....` and I''m using them for the domUs now. Some of them have been running for a few months with no probs. Trouble is that I''d like to create a separate partition within the domU.

Hi Guys, While updating es/ pages, noted that actually there are two Contribute pages. One in Contribute and other in HowToContribute. I wonder if we could reorganize that a bit. Maybe separate contribution needs by SIGs. Then create a Contribution index page where all those SIG's contribution pages be linked from ? It may be needed to create some SIGs in those areas where they don't

Well I have had problems copying files from this distro. I had to use the /c option in xcopy to get past the problem files..

I'd like to ask for permission to edit HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey. There was a recent forum thread on using Windows tools to create an installation USB (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=44268&forum=55). I'd tried some suggested tools; see post no 20 in the thread. I'd like to edit the Wiki to reflect my results. Yves -- Yves

Hi, the layout on wiki-m.centos.org looks pretty convincing to me, now. Two things: <http://people.centos.org/~ralph/pagetrail.png> - the pagetrail stuff isn't readable at all.

I've set up a local webserver to store kickstart files for domUs. All parameters are respected apart from the network settings. DomU always gets DHCP. Can any one help to unwrap this one?

With the decreasing price of USB Flash Memory Drives, I was wondering how I would go about creating a USB Flash Drive that could be used the same as CD 1 to install CentOS on my servers. Has anyone done this, and if so, can you tell me the procedure to make this work? Thanks!

There's a mistake in HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey , so I'd like to ask that someone fix it, or that I be given editing rights. The mistake is that in the section on CentOS 6, step 8, the correct command is "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (only). Also, although this isn't a mistake, I'd like to suggest mentioning in step 1 that the reason why part of the USB key has to be formatted

Hi, I have merged the HowToContribute and Contribute pages onto the Contribute link. But the tab on the top points to HowToContribute, while the link on the first page references the Contribute page.
