I have just tried to update to 4.9 a system that was installed from a 4.8 local repo. Because 4.9 has been moved to vault, as described by Johnny in http://www.linux-archive.org/centos/638644-centos4-rhel4-upstream-effective-eol.html, the mirrorlist file basically contains invalid information. http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=4.9&arch=i386&repo=os To avoid the faff of having to edit

Hi I can't find a place where I can download a centos4.x livecd iso I only found a centos5 image on the web. Can anyone give me an url? I'd like to clone centos4 machines, using the livecd.

Firstly, let me thank all of the individuals who assisted me in various matters regarding find, tar and ssh last week. Your contributions were truly invaluable and I learned a great deal thereby. The reason for that brief flurry of activity was an administrative and technical move to store-to-disc from store-to-tape for our server backups. We presently use a mix of store to disc on

Hi. I thought I might set up my CentOS 6 system with a source rpm repository config, so that I'll be able to download srpm files via "yumdownloader --source" or similar.
