similar to: how to upgrade Centos 5 correctly?

Hi, Redhat announced RHEL 5.1 on Nov 07, so hopefully CentOS 5.1 will be ready shortly. But I get kind of nervous of the arrival of 5.1. My problem is: I have hundreds Centos 5.0 boxes just finished installation and I will continue to install and upgrade hundreds more in next few months. With the arrival of Centos 5.1, I don't like to reinstall them anymore but continuous upgrade instead

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've just installed CentOS 5.1 x64, from the 1st CD (minimal installation) and then tried to install Apache, but keep on getting this error: [root at cacti ~]# yum install apache Loading "installonlyn" plugin Repository centosplus is listed more than once in the configuration Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos,

Guys, Is there a difference between CentOS 6.0 and centos 6 on the mirror list? Each mirror seems to have a folder for 6.0 and 6 separately. http://mirrors.lga7.us.voxel.net/centos/

I'm running CentOS on a virtual guest provided by a provider. Have you tried a 'yum clean all' ? That usually resolves this sort of issue for me. mhr

Hi, The regular php distributed with centos 4.x is 4.x with php 5.0.x provided from extras/plus. It seems that we are weeks (a month?) away from 5.2.0. Are there any plans to upgrade those packages to 5.1 or 5.2? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I have the x86_64 arch on my server so therfore i expect that yum updates only x86_64 packages. With the last *yum update* i?ve noticed a strange behaviour while retrieving the needed packeges. As you you see, yum wants install packages for different architectures: glibc x86_64 2.3.4-2.25 base 4.9 M glibc i686 2.3.4-2.25 base 5.1 M . .

Helo, I'm trying to update a centos server with a kernel form the centos.plus repro because it contain Firewire/IEEE1394 support.

I figured I try if I can mirror the base and updates repos locally. There's no tutorial for that, only one about creating your own repo of packages which is not the same. So, I just mirrored all the stuff with wget and changed the baseurl in the repo files and hoped that's enough. Works. So easy you don't need a tutorial. *But* I then realized that the updates directory contains

Hello, So I've watched a few threads about the new 5.0 vs. 5.1 upgrade and have a couple of (hopefully) practical questions about this: Context - I'd like to stick to 5.0 at least for a while until the dust around 5.1 settles down (and I'm back from holidays). As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to "stable" I can be sure that the only updates I receive there are

Is there any differences between the repos used by Centos 5.8 and those used by Centos 6.x please - ie does C6 use the same 3rd party repos as C5 does? Is there a Centos wiki article for C6 repos?

There are significant components of the upstream 5.6 release which are stuck behind the CentOS 5.6 release process, but are now incorporated in EPEL 5 components. In particular, the "php53" package is now necessary for the "drupal6" EPEL components, due to the long out of date PHP 5.1 in the default upstream vendor's codebase. I see that some of these components are

Thank you for the great CentOS. When trying to update from 5.0 to 5.1, I get an error regarding the centos.plus kernel and headers, "[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download". What'd I do?

Well, I started the install, got pxeboot to get to the kickstart file, formatted the drive... and then it failed, telling me "unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree." A quick google gives me the first hit from a year ago, bug 4372 <http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4372>, which says there's a metadata
