I'm thinking about switching to CentOS 4.4 x86_64 from another RH based version. However, I need to install it from scratch and I need EVERYTHING (including /boot & /) on XFS file systems. Does the default installer allow this? If not, how difficult would it be to make the necessary changes. I've done a lot of Google searching and searching of the CentOS site, but haven't found

Someone posted how to use a memory card (USB or another kind) to save settings between boots of a Live CD/DVD. I believe it was posted not too long ago and I thought I had kept the email, but now that I'm looking for the information, I can not find it. I've done some searching and I either get way too many hits or way too few, none of which are what I'm looking for. Does anyone

Hello, is there a way to boot CentOS 4.5 from USB flash key in rescue mode ? The prefered solution would be to have booting part of CentOS started by SysLinux and download the content of CD1 from a network server (HTTP), like Anaconda is able to use command "method". Best regards, Martin

Okay, I'm not a programmer, but I'm not new to Unix either--used it years and years ago in college before Win 3.1 came out. So I'm pretty rusty, but it IS coming back.... Here's my problem. I'm using Wine-20010510 on SuSE Linux 7.1. Wine seemed to install fine, but every time I try to run it, it says the c:\windows and c:\windows\system directories are invalid. I've

Running CentOS 4.2 with all updates. I've been using sendmail for my MTA since forever. I've grown used to it and I can make it do what I want it to. However (there's always a catch, isn't there)... Lately it seems that some mail is being lost. I've noticed some instances when a message was sent to myself and others which I will only see if someone replies back to

Greetings, I've been a user and fan of SYSLINUX for a couple of years now. I use PXELINUX for a PXE server. I've only been able to boot linux kernel/initrd images and dos bootdisks, however now I'm wanting to create a boot image for the 'Rescue Is Possible' (RIP) linux recovery disk - http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ Previous versions came with a

Hi, I am trying to setup my own PXE boot server. I tried several PXE bootable Linux-Distributions. For example if I use the ubuntu netboot image from [1] it works quit well but there are a few other images they do not work in my case e.g.: RIPLinuX [2]. A friend tested this image on his PXE boot server with success. I also checked the download with md5sum. In my case I can see the boot menu [3].

Hi, I'm looking for common practices for backing up user data to disk. My user data is all in /home. I'm also interested in what folks are doing for things backing up os and configs. Any pointers on setting up rsync, cpio, etc would be appreciated. Pointers to good how-to's especially welcome. Currently we're using Arkeia Network Backup (commercial product with which I am

Hi, i did not succeed to get my test computer (Asus A7V8X-X of 2004) to boot from an isohybrid image. I tried http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/RIPLinux-7.0-non-X.iso which is obviously isohybrid enabled. The system has a "Promise Ultra 133 TX2" IDE controller which supercedes the mainboard BIOS. To make the system react on the USB stick i set boot option

Hi guys, I'm having some problems installing Microsoft Office 2007 in my Fedora 15 (x64) with wine version 1.3.21. I've followed several how-to's including some here in WineHQ.

So I was googling around about this over the last week and here is what I found: nis/yp is for some reason bad. Kerbos is holy, but no how-to's that don't involve windows and active directory. What is the recommended sso approach for centos? Where are there examples / docs to follow? Jason -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -

Hi, I'm setting up a few machines for virtualization using Xen on Centos 5.2 x86_64. A lot of how-to's out there tell me to do something like "mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled" or similar actions or else Xen might not work correctly. Is this something that is still relevant or does it only apply to older versions of Xen/Centos? If this is still necessary what is the best way

I saw on a "easy" Howto (there are about 10 different how-to's), that the MESA-package from SuSE ist conflicting with the GL-Drivers from Nvidia (which you need to run Nvidia-Cards 3D-accelerated). Is it true, that I have to uninstall MESA? -- live long and prosper
