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

I got a spam today (from a yahoo server, surprise!) with nothing but a single link. http:// 2927755261/ I separated the http so it would not be a link in your email... suggest not going to it without proper measures. it takes you to a record search site. When I look up this number block here, http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/2927755261 it comes up with a different ip address... The ip

I've been being told, over and over, by K3B, Brasero, and Isomaster, on two machines, with three different downloads of 6.0, that the file is too large for the medium. Nautilus and the browser that die each download all say it's 4.4 GB; I've tried with two +R and an RW DVD, all of which are labelled 4.7 GB Two of the files are 32-bit, and one is 64 What is going wrong?? --

Hello, I have a HP Pavilion p2 1033wb. I has a 3 core Vision AMD E-300 Processor Dual Core runs at 3.2 GHZ. CentOS will run ok with this processor won't it Echolink told me I would have no problem running there program with it. Probably a dumb question but just checking. Thanks, KF7TQV 73.

I've taken over a CentOS machine. The previous SA had a habit of using the --nodeps flag to rpm to remove packages (he was trying to build a small server and removed packages he felt weren't needed). I have a horrible feeling that this has resulted in some required dependencies no longer being met. The server kinda-works, but it may break in unexpected ways; I don't like being

Hi All: I have an HP DL380G5 server which I am loading CentOS 6.2 on and it does not appear to recognize all of the RAM installed on the server. The BIOS is reporting 26GB however top is reporting: Mem: 15720140k total, 418988k used, 15301152k free, 30256k buffers Swap: 17956856k total, 0k used, 17956856k free, 135536k cached and free is reporting: total used

Hi; I'm looking for CentOS 5.0 x86_64 dvd iso (preferably not torrent); must be 5.0 All my web searches have come up with more recent versions of 5.x, not 5.0. Can someone give me a URL I can wget with? I'd even be willing to throttle down the wget). Thanks, Ken Wolcott

I've managed to get Skype set up and working. I can hear the other person talking, but she can't hear me. During a conversation, I tried what I thought to be all possible settings in both the "Volume Control" application and in Skype itself. But no joy. To make matters more puzzling, I had skype working on this same machine last year using CentOS 5.6... or maybe it was

Hi All, After updating to the latest kernel, I get subject error at grub. I have no idea as to how to fix this. Booting of the previous kernel is fine. Could someone please help sort this out?

I love Centos. Have in on my data centre servers, my home servers, my laptop and my netbook. Yes there are serious and continuing security concerns relating to Gnome and KDE but they are not Centos. Currently running 5.6 and would like a two set DVD of that version. However none of the mirrors offer pure DVDs only Torrent versions which involve the possibility of bits being tampered with and

CentOS 6.2. I have a 2TB drive, one partition, which is used for online backups. It filled up the other day. I moved a couple of b/u directories off it, and deleted the originals, which should have given me 42G free. I also reduced the reserved blocks by 1/3rd. I've just finished an fsck, which it needed anyway, and in which there was a problem in an HTREE directory node. df *still* tells me

I have a Windows 7 laptop that I want to make dual boot with CentOS 6.2. My plan was to use the Windows Disk Management tool to partition the disk, but I do not have the needed admin rights on the box to use that. Has anyone used the partitioning tool that comes with 6.2 to do this? Can I have some level of confidence that it will not mess things up so that I cannot boot into Windows? if it screws

I have a tested copy of EL6 that I would like to duplicate to a number of similar servers, but can't seem to find a sane howto on the subject. TLDP's "Hard disk upgrade howto" is embarrassingly antiquated: when's the last time you saw LILO? What's the recommended procedure for doing an HDD copy/upgrade from one disk to another? Is there a nice, detailed howto that

I would like to upgrade my system to a 64 bit machine. I'd like to find a bare bones platform to build on. I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on this as it is a home system. I looked on the CentOS sponsor page but only saw hosting services. I haven't kept up with hardware in years so I'm dumber than dirt on what's out there. I would prefer a desktop so I can stack it.

For a long time now I've wanted to be able to watch videos. I've done the "try this!" and "try that!" method and it hasn't worked well. So I'm wondering if anyone running CentOS 5.5 has Shockwave on Firefox working. Currently it works for me with short videos-- up to two or three minutes long. However, when Shockwave is enabled, CPU usage jumps to 99%,

CentOS-5.7 using fuse-ntfs-3g I have a HDD from a laptop that is being returned for repair replacement. I wish to remove certain files before sending the laptop back with the HDD. I have mouunted the HDD on my desktop as an ntfs filesystem using an external SATA / USB adapter. As root I then used the gnome desktop to move the desired files to trash. Now I wish to delete the contents of the
