Hello, when I log in through ssh to a remote site and open the web interface from a ( new ) printer using Lynx, it only displays : FRAME: wlmframe I suspect this is some unfriendly coding, that will cost me time in opening Firefox instead of Lynx or w3m.

Dear all, I have a question regarding 2 network card setup, when e.g. using dhcp. Until a few months ago, I worked with OpenSuse. There in firewall config, you had to assign each NIC to a zone, either internal, external, DMZ or custom. Without it not much would work. I don't seen anything on CentOs in firewall config. So how does this work in CentOs? greetings, James -- Johan

Dear All, I'm replacing an older OpenSuse server with a new Centos6.4 server. So far that goes ok, except that the OpenSuse server is also a samba server with ldap connection. Since I replaced all but 2 machines in the building from Windows to Linux, I was hoping not to install Samba on the new server. ( And also because I can't get it to work on Centos. ) I saw a post on the

Dear All, I installed CentOs on a brand new Dell Lattitude E5430. I did a minimal install, then did a "yum groupinstall Desktop" and I installed xorg-x11-drv-intel.i686. Also, I installed a i686 CentOs on a 64bit system, thinking because it has 4Gb or ram, It makes no difference. The screen is split top to bottom on the left hand side. This was quickly solved by adding

dear All, I'm spending the afternoon trying to build software raid using this ( excellent ) guide : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 I'm doing this not only because this machine has no raid controller - I could go out and buy one - but also because I hope software raid will provide easier monitoring. This is a newly installed, updated Centos6.4 standard

Dear All, Since RHEL/Centos went to Firefox10, I have about 50 users who have sync-pop-ups. Does anyone knows a quick and very dirty way to get rid of sync all together? I searched the Mozilla Forum, but found no clean Linux-solution, without me having to log in to every account and run about:config. I was thinking like adding something to prefs.js I cannot believe Firefox included this
