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, folks! Does anyone knows how could I install some new packages on CentOS (4 and 5) using the cdrom media?

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

I have weird problem. I'll try to build rpm-package from Brian Lane's Digitemp. Everything seems to go OK, but..... Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.50782 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + cd digitemp-3.5.0 + install -d -m 755 /var/tmp/digitemp-buildroot/usr/local/bin/ + install -s -g lock -m 2755 digitemp_DS9097U /var/tmp/digitemp-buildroot/usr/local/bin/ + install

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'm writing a script that has logging via a simple routine: LogIt() { Msg="$1" echo "$THISSCRIPT: $Msg" echo "$Msg" >>$LogFile } #A portion of this script sends a file via ftp: # ftp -vn >$tempfile <<$$EOD : : $$EOD #Then reads the temporary file to log while read line do LogIt $line Done <$tempfile rm -f $tempfile

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.

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. But if I log in to the gui

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, 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

Hi, I am trying to delete files that are more than 7 days old. When I run it interactively it works, no problem, but it does not run from a file stored in cron.daily.

I'd like to install NagiosQL on CentOS, but I don't see a yum package for it, so I'm going to download the source code. If I download it, where in CentOS's file system (i.e. in which directory) is the best place to untar, compile, and run it? (Sorry, I've been spoiled by packages!)

How do I control the order in the network manager? I have read the little doc on it. And I want wireless before wired, for example. If multiple wireless, I want to be at least asked, or to set my priority (like I could do in wpa_supplicant.conf).

So how does one accomplish this if say the snap is now deemed the copy of interest? I am hoping dd is not the only answer:) Thanks! jlc

How does chkconfig determine what number to give to a link when you turn a service on? Thanks! jlc
