I have found this link http://owlriver.com/tips/tiny-centos for installing centos on a minimal system. I am looking at putting centos on a 1 GIG flash drive. The above page talks about removing packages after install to attain the small size. however, I am getting blocked at the install page about not enough room to install. All I have selected is the base package. nothing else. Is there a way

I'm using rsync on an embedded powerpc platform with flash filesystem. Because of a power-cycle a local file got corrupted. This file is /flashfs/isd1, it has the correct size but wrong MD5SUM (cd5...). Using rsync to retrieve the right file (from a remote machine) fails! If I delete the file first, it works (see below). How is this possible ? --- N. van Bolhuis. # md5sum /flashfs/isd1

One problem I sort of always had with the ActiveRecord''s tight coupling to the SQL backend is how slow it makes the unit tests. OK, there are some ways to make it faster at a price of extra complexity (reusing the fixtures, doing a rollback in the end of the test, etc), but still - it is much slower than what I would like a unit test to be. Today I had a very simple idea (why, oh why

Hi, I want to Boot up from a USB Disk-On-Key, Pull up a menu of: Start Fresh install of WBEL 3.0 Start Fresh install of WBEL 4.0 Start Fresh install of CentOS 3.6 Start Fresh install of CentOS 4.2 Load Win98 boot disk and end with command prompt.

Hi, I was just wondering if it is possible to cause a script to run (configured in the domu.cfg file) each time "xm create domu.cfg" is run, but before the machine is actually started? ie, I''d like to "setup" the disks for the VM before xen/qemu tries to use the devices and allocate to the domu. I''m using xen 4.1.3 on Debian testing, and using the xm

I'm using pxelinux in an interesting way, to load DOS boot disk images from a win2k RIS (Remote installation Service) to do various functions. Soem of the disk images are used for flashing the BIOS on pcs, but a specific few are set aside for booting MSDOS with MS lanman so that ghost can be run to load images to/from the lan. I've got 6 different disk images setup and the all work

The BIOS on my laptop does not support booting from USB. I would like to be able to have my Windows XP on a partition on a USB disk drive and be able to run from the USB disk using perhaps a CD or floppy to bootstrap the system. My questions: 1). Is there a way to use syslinux and friends to do this? 2). If not, is there some other boot loader that may work? 3). Is there any hope at all?

Hi; In http://syslinux.zytor.com/history.php, you mention: PXELINUX, ISOLINUX: Correctly handle files larger than 65535 blocks (32 MB for PXELINUX, 128 MB for ISOLINUX.) However, I am having issues with trying to make any compressed initrd.gz >32 meg work with pxelinux. I am using "atftpd" as the server, with --no-blksize specified to disable the blksize command. The

Hello all, I've been following this project with interest, and have had great fun implementing Isolinux within the FreeDOS cdrom distribution. Since I'm not that an expert at Linux, I would like to know how I can *succesfully* generate a bootable image from a partition. Situation is like this: (640MB RAM on system) 60GB IDE harddisk, primary partition 1 win98 500MB extended partition

Anyone running centos with an iscsi filesystem mounted? If so: What version of centos? Which iscsi package? What filesystem are you using on the mount? Does it perform like you'd expect? Thanks, peter

I have some problems with copying LV volumes and determining correct size. For instance, if I want to copy an LV from one machine to another. I dd the LV to a file on the other machine, then dd the file to the new LV. That fails, because a few MB are missing. source: LV Name /dev/VolGroup01/LogVol01 LV Size 4.62 GB target: LV Name

Hi folks, I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a bit, done my googling and archive searching but I still can't seem to 'get' it. Here goes: I've a spare drive in my CentOS5.1 box, which (for testing now) I mount manually under /mnt/backup I want to backup the /home tree to that box nightly via rsync (cronjob), so I tried this: rsync -avrogz /home/

Hi list, Here is the idea. I am running a domU out of a partition on a USB drive. I use the other partition to store the domU state. Then I carry this USB key to my office and restore the VM at the point where I left it. Thus I am trying to use xen''s virtualization to carry my desktop on a USB key. I have put up a web page explaining the details and a script to prepare the USB key.
