Hi, Has any one know how to skip ix86 packages from installation in Centos kickstart? Most of our machines have 64bit Intel/AMD CPUs, and it make non-sense to still keep 32bit compatibility. Even worse of i*86 packages is, when upgrade we have to recompile both ix86 version and x86_64 version to get an automatic yum upgrade. I know we could use 'exclude' option to exclude i*86 packages

Hi all, I don't see xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.7.i386.rpm in the CentOS4 x86_64 updates repo. It is listed in the security announcement: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-April/013658.html I see the 4 other i386 packages there: devel, deprecated-libs, Mesa-libGL, and Mesa-libGLU. Just the libs package is missing. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin

Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself? For example, if I have this: public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228 ... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following: $ ln releases/site-latest public_html I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected.

I have weird problem. I'll try to build rpm-package from Brian Lane's Digitemp. Everything seems to go OK, but.....

Dear friends: Just installed Centos 5. Very impressed but as a newbie I am a bit confused about the the role of the Software Updater vs. Add/Remove and Yum(ex).

Has anyone worked with either the Hitachi or Seagate Compact flash drives in an IDE to CF interface and set the up with EXT3 formatted partitions for use with LVM? I ASSuME that LVM is not for FAT32 formatted drives.

Hi, Sorry for the little bit off-topic. I have a script that has to performe a hash over a password. Problem is that sha512sum expects CTRL-D to be pressed to return to the command prompt. I've searched all over Google, but either I didn't do the right search or there is nothing relevant about this. Bottom line is that I need this command to print the password hash and returns to the

Dear friends: Using Centos 5. I have two physical drives. During install, I made sure to check hdb as well as hda. Both were listed as partitions (which is correct). But my fstab file does not show hdb. How do I make sure that hdb has been formatted and is part of my file system. If hdb is not formatted, how do I format it, please. Sorry for the question. I am a newbie. d[sher at localhost

Hi People I am trying to build a piece of software from source in this case aide 0.13.1 using this config line ./configure --with-zlib --with-selinux.

I was able to do this with a live CD of CentOS 4, but it seems the same procedure does not work for the new version. Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any and all thoughts are apprecicated!

Everybody encourages Samba admins to enable WINS whenever possible, and I agree that it helps a lot to solve these networks' problems. It's so good that, when it fails, it's a disaster. How are people coping with the samba limitation of not being able to replicate the WINS database and thus its inability to have more than one WINS server in a domain?

I have 2 machines running centos. each machine has 2 network cards. Box 1: eth1: T1 connection 74.X.X.X eth0: office connection 192.X.X.X Box 2: eth1: Cable modem 24.X.X.X eth0: office connection 192.X.X.X How do I issue a route command on each box so it will use eth0 as the shortest route between the two boxes??? Thanks, Jerry -------------------- On Box1 the route is: [root at mndemo ~]#

Here is the thing. All workstations in the network have the /etc/profile modified and set up to call a profile script in the network that sets up variables that we need here. Here $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other variables get set, fixed, or modified to support our development process. The weird thing is that while in a TTY the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is fine and retains its value.
