similar to: keep /boot, copy / from elsewhere?

I'm upgrading my current RedHat9 installation to CentOS 4.4, so decided to buy the 4.4 LiveCD (rather than downloading and burning an ISO). I thought the LiveCD was simply a 'reduced' version and that I could install from it, but I find I don't actually know what to do with it and can't find any relatively simple instructions (I'm a bit of a newbie to linux but think

I asked before (about 2 weeks) about this, and was told it was in testing. I wonder when it will be available. My GF is considering leaving Debian due to it not recognizing her hardware very well, and I thought a CentOS 5 LiveCD might be a reasonable way for her to see whether CentOS might do a better job. If no LiveCD is forthcoming soon, then I'll burn a copy of the CentOS 4 LiveCD and let

This is an issue I've researched quite a bit on bug lists, and looked in the Syslinux Wiki for a way to do this, but haven't yet found a solution. 1) I have an existing Fedora 13 LiveCD which I burned to a CD and tested on a system without issue. 2) I then took that same ISO and dropped it in my pxelinux.cfg/default for being able to boot over the network. I made sure to extract the

Hi, I need to securely wipe out a disk on a remote machine, but I don't have access to that machine. Therefore I cannot use the LiveCD+shred (or dd) combination. Besides manually shreding known data files, I am wondering if there is a (free) tool that can be used in my case. Thanks.

I've managed to install CentOS 6 on a 192MB virtual machine using LiveCD install-to-disk graphical method. This is not normally possible because of: - hard-coded minimum supported memory in Anaconda installer - it will show a message "You do not have enough RAM to install CentOS Linux on this machine" if you try or force you to use seriously crippled text installer; - a bug in

I updated the livecd-tools package from version 013 to 014. This update introduces new interesting features like : - support for Xen kernel - built-in md5sum into the resulting LiveCD ISO - a new API See https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/GetToolset for instructions on how to get this updated toolset. Since it is a major update, I expect some bugs. I am looking for feedback from

Hi all, On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1 I downloaded CenOS6.x minimal .iso and with livecd-iso-to-disk the resulting USB is never bootable: the computer doesnt boot on it. Tested on many computers. The fact is I succeded to install CentOS on a Netbook (no CD/DVD tray), but I dont remember how I invoked livecd-iso-to-disk. I tried with many combinations (/dev/sdc is the USB

This is the second generation of the edit-livecd tool that replaces our original bash script with a python version and aims to reuse as much as the livecd-creator libraries as possible. The main reason for the new creator class is to avoid the need for a kisckstart file in order to edit an existing livecd image. edit-livecd is useful for people who don't have the development and yum

I have read many Centos webpages and mail archives but found only raw descriptions of the build process. My first aim is to rebuild CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso using the Centos repositories and preferably without recompiling the SRPMs, just to verify the build process. My final aim is to create a Centos LiveOS contain the packages in CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso plus some network configuration

This enables the ability to take the ovirt-node-image iso and deploy it to an iscsi disk. It also provides a sample pxe configuration for booting based on the iscsi root device. Includes support for user/password as well as reverse chap user/password. --- Makefile.am | 1 + livecd-iso-to-iscsi | 201 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ovirt-node-image.spec.in |

Hi, i have implemented in xorriso the equivalents of isohybrid.c options --mac and --uefi. There remains the question how to ensure that the submitted MBR is prepared for the 32 byte mock-up of an APM Block0.

CentOS Community, I have a dedicated server with 4 hard drives in a RAID 10 software configuration running LVM. My OS is CentOS 6.2. Earlier today, I rebooted my system and my system did not come back online. I opened a ticket with my datacenter who informed me that one of my hard drives is no longer recognized by the bios and has failed. I was told that an OS reinstall was needed. I

Hi, I've been trying to setup a dual livecd. However I am getting an error with parsing the isolinux.cfg. I am using 3.84. the relevant section of the isolinux.cfg is as follows label LiveCD1 kernel vmlinuz1 append livecd=livecd1 initrd=initrd1.gz root=/dev/rd/3 acpi=on splash=silent vga=788 keyb=us fstab=rw,noauto label LiveCD2 kernel vmlinuz2 append livecd=livecd2

Hello, I have a RAID5 array on my CentOS 5.6 x86_64 workstation which "suddenly" failed to work (actually after the system could not resume from a suspend). I had recently issues after moving the workstation to another office, where one of the disks got accidently unplugged. But the RAID was working and it had reconstructed (as far as I can tell) the data. After I replugged the disk,

I have tried to create a livecd from Centos 4.4, it require to compile unionfs as a module. I'm using Centos kernel source kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm and unionfs v1.1.5 but its giving error while compiling. <http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/centos/4.4/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.EL.src.rpm> Is anyone having success story building centos livecd from scratch? --beast

Hello CentOS list, I still need help. Does anyone know how I would go about creating my own "vmlinuz" PXE kernel? I'm still trying to get the NUC6CAYH to load to a LiveCD, and I'm getitng nowhere with Intel. My company wants to do hundreds of these per month; we're not above paying for professional help at this point. My current line of reasoning is to get whatever

I am still dead on my corporate system, and the XP boot CD I brought won't boot. And so far I have not found anyone here at the IETF meeting that happens to have one in their bag of tricks... So I found instructions on doing this in Ubuntu: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ I have my Centos install CD 1 of 6 that gets me into rescue.
