Hi all, Does anyone know of a decent bare-bones debian vmWare appliance I can download to play with? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

I'm new to this list, so feel free to update me on any rules that I seem not to be familiar with. I'm looking at some strange behavior on a _very_ barebones installation. I'd like to get some feedback on possible logical explanations. * What I'm seeing: The md5sum of all of my binaries in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin are changing exactly one hour after installation of CentOS-4.3.

Hello Because I did not send , and then retransmitted. I am using the CentOS5.7. In a state where the link down, I did a ping to the IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 succeeds in ping. but, IPv6 is ping fails. Once confirmed by ifconfig, it did not have a Link-Local Address. At link down, Is the Link-Local Address not set? Leave the link down, Is there a way to avoid this? # ethtool eth1 Settings for eth1: ?

Setting up bonding in active-backup mode 1 (using ARP monitoring) on a server, it looked OK, but pulling the active link cable didn't actually work, it didn't fail over. Eventually with manual playing around with modprobe, ifconfig, ifenslave, etc., a solution was stumbled upon: enslave the eth1 device before eth0, and all is good. Why this should matter is a puzzle - I could not find

Hi, I am trying to create a custom iso that I can use to install machines. I want to include my custom kickstart file on the distro and when its put in get the system to build using it. I have done some reading about this process, but i still havent been able to get it working with out any problems. I have ripped the contents of the iso by mounting it on a loop back device. I then put my

Hello, I tried to make an automatic install bootable CD, with a kickstart file. I use this command to create my CD : sudo mkisofs -v -r -T -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -J -o InstallCD.iso -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -hide-rr-moved .

I would like to how how I can take the CentOS 4.4 Server Cd for example and modify the ISO to put on my anaconda-ks.cfg file and then modify the kernel parameters to automatically load the anaconda-ks.cfg file so that I can create a CD that I just stick into my machine it will format the drive, install the basic configuration I like without asking any questions. I need to install like 20

Hi all, I have plan to replace my Centos5.7 VM with newer version. The VM works as our network gateway. I want to ask from your experience, will it be a bad decision? My concern is that since the Mac Address of the gateway will change, will it disrupt the network? How fast the Switches can recognize the new mac? Any other pitfall? Thanks Fajar.

Hi, I am trying to create a boot cd for ia64 systems which will go into the efi shell, map to fs0 (cdrom) and give a help message on screen. I have tried creating a CD using isolinux but this boots as the Red Hat AW2.1 CD 1 and ignores the message file. After selecting the efi shell and mapping to fs0 then entering - elilo linux ks=nfs:<ip address>:<kickstart file> I get the message

Moi Timo / all. I've been using Dovecot on my Qmailtoaster production mailserver for some years - since 1.0.7 and current Version 2.0.10 - works perfectly. Now I am installing a backupsystem and a VM testsystem (2 boxes) - and no matter how and what Version I am installing on these 2 boxes I get below messages whenever I try to test connection with Telnet (localhost 110 / 995). I have tried

Same CD. Any Linux distribution without the 5.X series boots on this machine. We can use 4.06 and it boots just fine. It's not the computer's hardware. Like I said, we can take the CD out of the GX620 and place it in the 9010 and it boots. Put 4.06 on the CD, and they both boot.

Thomas, the "xorriso.exe" files that are available are not really "around". They are not easy

I've attached a samba 3 (3.023c-2.el5.2.0.2) server to my windows 2003 domain. The domain's functional level is Windows 2000 Native. The server is running Centos 5. This configuration worked before I rebuild the server from Fedora Core 4 what ever version of samba it had. -- smb.conf -- [global] workgroup = mydomain netbios name = samba security = domain

Hi all, I am at the end of my wits, after a day and a half of mucking around with this :) My intention was to take a multi-boot DVD - of the style you get with an MSDN subscription - and burn an individual installer to disc. How to do this? My theory was to take the files for the installation CD, add isolinux, add a bootsector, and away I go. Unfortunately it doesn't seem this easy. So I

Hi, Is is possible to use kickstart file to install rhel from dvd drive? Mainly idea is to clone one anaconda.ks file to about twenty machines.? examples? ftp/http/dhcp is not possible due to network limitations. -- Eero

Is there a documented approach somewhere for performing an unattended ''bare metal'' install of Xen? The Xen Users'' Manual describes an installation flow that requires a host OS on the target machine. This host OS is used for installation of Xen, but Xen does not execute "on top of" this OS (rather Xen executes directly "on top of" the hardware

Hello, Does anyone have an up-to-date page describing, step by step, how to make a customized CentOS5 DVD? I noticed that CentOS5 already comes with ~240MB of updates. So for starters, I'd like to create a new DVD with all the current updates. (And I have other custom scripts I need to install on top of that). I've googled around and tried various suggestions on the net:
