Do most people today have /boot on a separate partition, or do they (you) have it on the / partition ? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

What is the best way to install CentOS 6? Is there an upgrade facility from CentOS-5.6? If so, how does this compare with a clean installation? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Anyone got a recommendation for a cheap (but good) colour laser printer that runs under CentOS-5.5 ? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

According to <http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.5> "There is a "Network Install" option on the Live CD that is the same as our CentOS-5.5-i386-netinstall ISO". I've looked quite carefully at my CentOS-5.5 Live CD (on a USB stick), and I don't see a Network Install option anywhere. Could some kind soul explain where it can be found,

My HP MicroServer crashes with a kernel panic when booted into kernel-3.10.0-327.3.1.el7.x86_64, but runs perfectly under kernel-3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64 . I've been trying to save the panic message with kdump, but am not sure how one can configure kdump to do this, if indeed that is possible. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

I have a CentOS-5.6 remote server in a house in Italy, where there are occasional thunder-storms. There was one yesterday, when the electricity went off 3 times, for a second or so on each occasion. My server, an HP MicroServer, came back (re-booted) on 2 of the 3 occasions, but not on the third. I assume that the problem arises because the machine does not close down properly. (Although it is

Has the CentOS logo disappeared from CentOS-7? I thought the logo in CentOS-6 was very pleasant. Also I liked the way in which one increasing circle inside another showed how the boot was progressing. The dots going round and round in Microsoft fashion in CentOS-7 is a retrograde step, I think. One always has the fear it might continue forever. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School

My CentOS-7 home server has a static IP address. Is there a simple way of organizing the hpptd server so that it is accessible through this address at a remote host, but is accessed at its 192.168 address by a laptop on the WiFi LAN? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

I read that Redhat was offering their Linux free, and downloaded the ISO, though I haven't run it. What do CentOS users think of Redhat's offer? The registration with Redhat seemed very bureaucratic to me, and I'm not sure if I have carried it out properly. Also, I didn't see if it was possible to get updates, either with dnf or some other way. I've been (and am) very

If I boot into CentOS on my home server from a Live CD or USB stick and go to Troubleshoot, it lists OS's it finds on the machine. How does it find these OS's? Presumably it looks through all the partitions on all the hard disks for something that looks like an OS? But how exactly does it identify an OS? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College,

I've had a disaster on my home network server; the partition table on the disk containing / has become corrupted, and testdisk has not enabled me to recover the table. If anyone can help with this I should be grateful. However, that is not what I am writing about. I've installed a substitute box - and HP MicroServer - which by a miracle has CentOS-5.6 installed on it. Now I'm

I recently asked about copying a running system to a new drive. As a postscript, I'm wondering if it would have been preferable to run the machine under a Live OS, and simply copy the root partition to the new drive? Eg while running under the LiveOS, # mkdir /mnt/old /mnt/new # mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/old # mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/new # cp -avx /mnt/old /mnt/new or # rsync -ax
