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

Hello: My user name is YvesBellefeuille. I'd like to edit the information on using Skype under CentOS 6 at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype . The current information is based on http://www.openfusion.net/2009/09/19#fn.html , which was written in 2009 and is no longer accurate. Here are two examples: (1) it's no longer necessary to install qt4; (2) the packages to be installed are

Hi: I've finished the changes about installing Skype on CentOS 6. Thanks. (Except that I still think that this information should be moved in the list of HowTos from section 17, "Misc.", to section 18, "Non CentOS Applications".)

Hello: I've written a Grub Installation How-To, and I'd like to post at least a draft version. The information presently at http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/InstallFromGRUB is somewhat related, but my How-To is much more detailed. The information at "Tips and Tricks: Installation Tips" is most closely related to what I prepared, so I suggest that a new page entitled

Hello: I've completed the HowTo "Grub Installation for CentOS 5 and 6", currently at http://wiki.centos.org/YvesBellefeuille/Grub_Installation I'd like to suggest that an appropriate location would be in the HowTos, section 17, Misc. (It doesn't seem to fit neatly anywhere else.) I couldn't figure out how to do the two internal links at the very bottom, so please

Hello: As I mentioned, I consider the Grub Installation for CentOS 5 and 6 HowTo to be ready.

Hello: Skype for Linux version 4 has recently been released. An RPM package has been made, and it's mentioned in the Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype#head- a08dbc518378653842007a2eec37bc32e13c0bd0 However, Microsoft claims to prohibit redistribution of Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/legal/terms/tou/ , subsection 4.2). My feeling is that the Wiki shouldn't mention

Hello, Is there a standard format for quoting examples of commands to be entered by the user? I've given the following example commands: cd /tmp wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-static cd /opt tar xjvf /tmp/skype_static-4.0.0.7.tar.bz2 rm /tmp/skype_static-4.0.0.7.tar.bz2 ln -s skype_staticQT-4.0.0.7 skype Someone changed them to add prompts: [root at host]# cd /tmp [root

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?? --

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

I am by no means an expert and it is intended for people who just want to get a gist of what it entails. channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/WebserverVideos The first part is done, getting the server and putting it together. Along with my thoughts on the build. Future

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

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.
