similar to: Yum update without internet connection - realization part

I usually use a "Desktop" option when installing a new machine. This gives me all I need for an X session and then I add other packages or grouplists on an as-needed basis. I'm putting together a couple of machines that will not have network connectivity until all packages are installed. Is there a way to run yum to install packages/groups from the installation disk instead of

I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3. The usual procedure is to do a yum update twice, and all is fine. This time, I had to rebuilddb before I could run the second yum update, and once I started this, yum fails. It says that $releasever is "1.0". Now I realize I could manually edit my yum.conf and make it go to 3, but this may not fix the problem down the road. Can

I'm running CentOS 3 and have just installed a Liteon lightscribe DVD/CD unit. I firstly realized I didn't know exactly how to mount it, as /dev/dvd didn't exist, I didn't want to generate anything if it already existed, and I didn't want to mess up my cdrom unit that works just fine. I mounted the device though the X window just to see how it might mount, and find that it

I should change this to OT, as it's not really CentOS related. I had a post on the list last week asking how the rpmforge rpm was to be implemented in yum. Craig White was kind enough to list how his yum.conf is appended, I assume after he installed the rpm. Unfortunately, mine is not appended with these lines. I am running CentOS 3. I will add these lines manually, and probably remove

I'm sure these sound like stupid questions, or have really simple answers, so sorry. The really bad thing is I originally sent these to samba-bounces. Oops. Once we get this Samba AD thing installed, we'd like to have users login and mount particular shares to drive letters based on their group, not their user. All I've read about this seems to use "user" scripts (along

Sorry for the extra info required, but I had digest mode turned on and wouldn't have received the mailing till tomorrow. I have since updated the data manually, but after 'yum update tzdata' was run, the zdump -v for EST5EDT and America/New_York all still showed a date of April 1, instead of March 11. After manually fixing, it is correct. This was mostly a question about why yum

I just installed Centos 5.5 with the xen kernel on an older machine. It has Xeon processors and a 700 Mhz processor speed, so I realize I must use para-virtualized guests. Reading the Centos/RH Virtualization Guide gives examples of the process of installing guest hosts, but it only lists installing Windows as a fully-virtualized host. Is that because they only showed those types of examples

I've got a couple of Samba4 DCs running as VMs for testing. The primary AD DC went smoothly. The second VM joined properly and all but it's only when I get to the replication tests that I see errors. This is following the wiki When I run the command "samba-tool drs kcc -Uadministrator windowsdc.mycrap.cnpapers.dom" I get an error indicating that

I'm still not seeing emails from the list. With help from others, I thought I had the IPs cleared since the change back in February, but apparently not. Can someone PM me and let me know what outgoing IP addresses the list is using please? steve campbell

I read a few days back on the list where the tzdata rpm was to take care of the new DST rules. I run CentOS 3 servers, and did a 'yum update tzdata' , but received a 2006a update of the rpm. Is this proper? It sure didn't fix anything. Thanks Steve Campbell campbell at cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

I tested moving a box from Tao 1.0 to CentOS 3.7. All went well, as far as I can tell, with the OS upgrades, but I needed to rpm -ivh --force the desktop-* stuff. This was a minor thing to fix for no real purpose other than to just be doing it. I still get, though, the Tao screens when the graphic login screen appears. I have changed the Application->Settings->Login Screen->

I have read the Wiki for the Yum stuff, and tried to pay attention to the variations for Centos 3/Centos 4 mentioned, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get the Dag repo working properly on my CentOS 3 system. I have installed the rpmforge rpm, but this doesn't seem to do much. It does create(I think it created it) the yum.repos.d folder, and I edited the Dag repos file to be

I've done a little research, and can't really find out why it happens, but on one server I have built, I get the old fashion /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 type partitions and on another server I get the /dev/mapper style partitions. Both machines are hardware raided (before the install) and both machines are Centos 5.5 64 bit, using the same set of CDs to install from. Can someone please

Still new to dovecot, I'm seeing a couple of errors in my log file indicating corruption of index files. Error: Corrupted index cache file/home/xxxxxx/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 67: 1 Time(s) Error: FETCH [] for mailbox ~/mail/sent-mail UID 67 got too little data: 6203 vs 7478: 1 Time(s) This account is used by multiple users, but it is not

I've got a Centos 5 server with Xen installed. I'm trying to install a Centos 6.5 VM on it but once all is installed, the X window will not sync or display. I think I understand that it's probably due to the settings on the vnc stuff. I've got Centos 6.2 VMs that act just fine. Is there a way I can modify the VM's screen settings either during installation or after

Mr. Parsley, the main man at the Tao Linux group, has announced that he will no longer be able to do his thing for Tao Linux. Just recently, I had decided to investigate CentOS 4 before his announcement, and liked a lot of what I saw. Due to the Tao announcement, I have decided that CentOS will "have" to be the OS for my company in the future. Hence, my new membership to this list.

Getting in late on this one, but if I didn't need to spend money, couldn't spend money, or what ever the reason may be, and the aliasing was something that needed changing on a schedule, then why not just set up multiple alias files, run cron to replace them when needed, and "newaliases", all in cron scripts? You would need to maintain as many versions as required, but sounds

We have a situation here that is a real mystery. Our MRTG on our outgoing router and a firewall server that protects our web servers is showing a spike every six hours. I can't find the server behind the firewall that is generating such an extreme amount of packets, even though I've looked through the crontabs of nearly all servers, performed "ps" variations, and other

I'm going to have to be a little vague on this one, but hope I provide enough to make the question clear. I'm not doing the work on this server, a co-worker is, but I said I would ask for him. He is trying to get DRBD installed. He's using Centos 5.1 and the yum repos, but is getting problems with things like the kernel, drbd.so, and the likes. All install fine, but I'm not
