Creating the symbolic links in the /boot and /boot/grub/
I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long. I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub, however I need to make links for /boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1) /boot/grub/menu.lst (menu.lst -> ./grub.conf) If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate

Permissions question
My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the permissions are 775. My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd". Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint". Using this example, there is a directory under www (acutally called httpd),

Setting up a GUI remote access
Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux (Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is not locked up :-) ) with Samba. What is the best VNC like application to

Best way to add/update an installation
In an effort to prevent getting many minutes into an installation only to have a CD read fail (I did verify the CD's first), I did a minimal install. Can I use the minimal install to add the necessay packages for a HTTP server and graphical interface? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Reformatting a USB drive
I have a USB drive that has been formatted as NTFS. Can I reformat it? I have identified these properties about it /dev/sda1 /media/Extrnl_Bkup Not sure what to do next since the GUI will not mount a NTFS disk (expected). Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

How to add a HD to a LVM
I have connected a HD that was a prior system drive (Centos 4.8) and I am not sure of the command line procedures to find out if it is recognized (I believe it is since it present in the GUI), delete all data on it and finally add it to the LVM. I would like to use it as a backup data drive. Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

Best configuration for /var/www/html/
For a long period of time, my Apache root directory has been /home/httpd. For security reasons, this is not so good as SELinux has informed me. Now all of the files have been copied to /var/www/etc with owner and group "root". The privileges are 754 (rwxr-xr--), however apache does not have access to them. Should the owner be apache? Group?

Setting up rsync
About a year and a half ago, someone answered a request on how to set up rsync so that the encryption was automatically setup (wish I knew more about the technical aspects). It has been in use for the time since then and it has been great. Now I have to replace the destination computer and setting up, what I call the encryption part, is the part I have forgotten how to do. This is the

Default permissions for creating a new user
I know this is a Linux 101 question, however I am unable to locate the answer in my O'Reilly Linux book: how to set the default for permissions when creating a new user. The default for the GUI in my newly installed Centos 5.5 is 700. I usually use 774. And when root creates a new directory, is there a way to have a default there too? Lastly, if root or someone with root privileges

How to select a motherboard
Not being familiar with chip sets and other factors that "hardware experts" understand, I am perplexed with the multitude of available motherboards. Is there a Web site that can be of help or a "strategy"? My goal is to replace my motherboard with one that is Centos compatible and uses a Pentium 4 in the 2 MHz range. As example, when I go to Mwave, I am presented with

Blew away MySQL
Unfortunately, I blew MySQL away by replacing the MySQL control tables with others and not making a copy of the folder. My data is backed up, so that is not a problem, but I cannot reinstall MySQL and create the mysql directory with the control tables (e.g. user, db, host). I have run "yum remove mysql" and "yum install mysql" and "yum install mysql-server" and

Which file system to use for a USB backup
I have some photographs on my Centos 4 server that I want to copy to a USB drive. However, I want to be able to access the files from Windows or Mac OS's. Where should I look for instructions on how to mount and format the USB drive and is FAT32 the only option? Many thanks -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

Will Centos work with the Intel D865GLC
I need to replace my Abit BE7 board (cannot run the newer Linux) and keep my near new IDE HD's (250 GB). A D865GLC is new available that uses the Intel 865G chip set, but I have no experience in matching Mobo's with Linux. Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Backing up pass words
I am currently running CentOS 4 and want to install CentOS 5. To do that, I plan to install a new HD in my server box onto which CentOS will be installed. I will then copy the "home" directory from the old drive or from a backup on a USB drive, however I am not sure how to handle the Users/Passwords from the old installation. Many thanks...
