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.

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, I had downloaded CentOS 5.1 x86 DVD image, and although it passed sha1sum or md5sum test and I burned it verifying it, installation failed. Also if I recall correctly, when I tested the medium during install, it failed although as I said the media was verified. ==> The same things happen with Scientific Linux 5.1 x86 installation DVD, so perhaps it is a Red Hat EL 5.1 x86 DVD issue?

OS: CentOS 5.0 x86. I am a programmer, relatively new to GNU/Linux and am looking for cross platform GUI development, mainly for EL5 and Windows. I have found wxWidgets so far. I prefer drag 'n drop programming IDEs, QT seems to provide this for GNU/Linux, but it isn't free for Windows. Does anyone know of any decent GUI cross-platform library for EL5 and Windows with a drag 'n

Hi, I am surprised how some features are missing from CentOS 5. So far, I found missing: 1) GNOME Session does not prompt for saving on log out. 2) There isn't a "Run" option in the GNOME menus for running programs.
