Hi, We dont run DHCP in our environment where I build our servers, is it required to get a first IP address to hit my kickstart server running on my xandros debian laptop? Just been a couple years since I last did some kickstart builds and I dont have system-config-kickstart running on a machine here in my home lab. I can turn on DHCP on my linux laptop perhaps, but just wanted to check in

I responded to a post in the Dell poweredge mailing list earlier today. My answer was off the top of my head, with a bit of experimentation. The content may be useful in the Cenyos context as well to admin's looking to strip the size of an install to the bare bones. Comment welcomed. Can anyone see any packages which I have missed? -- Russ Herrold ---------- Forwarded message

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate from Fedora Core 4 to a more stable linux deployment of Centos 4.3. I'm using kickstart to do an automated installation of minimal packages and then doing configuration in the %post section. I do this by calling serveral custom system-config-local-* scripts that I have written along with system-config-network-tui (aka netconfig). The problem that I am

Folks After years of working just-fine, I have an automated script that manages yum for me at initial install time. Sometime within the last 48 hours, I get the error message http://mirror.nexcess.net/epel/6/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] repomd.xml does not match metalink for epel Trying other mirror. And this message repeats through all the mirrors, causing the load of the

Hi I have inherited some kickstarts that attempt to remove some packages that at some point its been deemed they are not required. I am migrating all this over to cobbler but trying to get to the bottom of this error that although the kickstart completes sshd cant start as the package nss is not installed. It fails with this Installing nss - 3.11.99.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64 error:

I'm working on an integration that uses QCOW2 volumes with backing stores. I have qemu configured to run as the "qemu" user, which seems to be fine. I now need to make sure my volumes are readable by this user. However, it seems the volume being created is owned by root, instead of "qemu" as I'd expect it to be. I tried various things and was unable to get it to create

Good day, Downloaded centos 5.6 live cd from... http://mirror.nexcess.net/CentOS/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-LiveCD.iso it is dated 06-04-2011. No option to install on hard disk. Have I missed it somehow? Please some advice. Maybe the address if an installable cd iso please. Thanks Johan

I have centos 5.4 and trying the command "yum install yum-utils", it gives me an error. I tried the "yum clean all" and the did the command again with same message. I only have [base] and [updates] in the repo. yum install yum-utils Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.nexcess.net * updates: mirrors.gigenet.com base

By default the installer will set the hostname to what the DHCP returns, exposing details of the machine where make-template.ml runs. Instead, force "unassigned-hostname.unassigned-domain" as hostname, so plays nicely with the hostname setting code in virt-customize. --- builder/templates/debian.preseed | 2 +- builder/templates/ubuntu.preseed | 5 +++++ 2 files changed, 6

Hi, just to avoid re-inventing the wheel, is there any document that can help me reduce even further a "minimum" installation of Centos 4.4 (BTW can you say 600mb is minimum)? I am in the process of creating a small Centos-4.4-based Asterisk box and I need to boot it from a CF card. Deleting useless packages will help me do what i want. Example: even a minimum install of Centos 4.4 (or

__findFirstOctetIP() is expecting min and max available octets according to its code, however the caller getFreeIP() gives it the min octet and (max - min + 1), which is the length instead.

Greetings. There must be some minor changes to anaconda. I'm getting the error: "Cannot open repomd.xml file...." the file seems to be located in the repodata directory...

Although linkspeed and duplex can be set in a linux guest via 'ethtool -s', this requires custom ethtool commands for virtio-net by default. Introduce a new feature flag, VIRTIO_NET_F_SPEED_DUPLEX, which allows the hypervisor to export a linkspeed and duplex setting. The user can subsequently overwrite it later if desired via: 'ethtool -s'. Linkspeed and duplex settings can be

This is what I have for configuring software raid on sata drives in my kickstart config <snip kickstart.cfg> clearpart --initlabel --all part swap --size=2048 --ondisk=sdb part swap --size=2048 --ondisk=sda part raid.01 --size=101 --ondisk=sda part raid.02 --size=101 --ondisk=sdb part raid.04 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb part raid.03 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda raid / --fstype ext3

Hello. A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers using kickstart. The server has two 1TB sata disks with two software raid1 partitions as follows: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md1 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0] 933448704 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda2[2](F) 40957568 blocks [2/1] [_U] Now the drives are starting to be failing and next week

I am asking this here, that although a kickstart question, may have something to do with the Centos install? I took my Anaconda-ks.cfg from my system, turned it into a ks.cfg and did the install. Everything SEEMS ok, but why? First the partitioning information: ks.cfg supplied: clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --start=14

After installing 4.92 I wanted to run netconfig. It was not availble. I did "yum install netconfig" and got the package. What should I have selected in the "custom packages" at install time to get netconfig? Thanks, Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
