similar to: Copying my new Centos 5 to my main drive

I am building a mailserver and with all the steps, I want to image the drive at various 'checkpoints' so I can go back and redo from a particular point. The image is currently only 4GB on a 120GB drive. Fdisk reports: Disk /dev/sdb: 111.8 GiB, 120034124288 bytes, 234441649 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size

I just installed Centos 5 for my notebook (HP compaq nc4010) on a separate drive (than this one that has Centos 4.5). When I first booted after all the setup, X did not start. hmm. Rebooted, and X came up fine. I did a bunch of customizing and upgraded the kernel Rebooted, X did not start. Rebooted X started fine. I checked some things out then tried the Suspend feature. Not

Right now, RSAT seems not to be an option for me, as the only Win systems here are XP... None of my PDC users were brought over with classicupdate. Perhaps becuase my users are LINUX user accounts? And the home directories map to /home/user ? So I would think I need to start adding users and put them into groups. How? And I am reading:

Well I am working on building a kernel that will have the IPsec BEET mode patch available from infrahip.hiit.fi. I have some decent help, but really no one there is a seasoned Centos kernel builder (though they work with different FC kernels), and now they are mostly done for the day. I have been following the wiki on building a custom kernel, got my patch in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and away with

I have been creating conf files and similar with the following method that I picked up (I think from psotfix docs): cat <<EOF>>/etc/aliases || exit 1 root: youremail EOF See: http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-armv7.html But with postfixadmin I stumbled onto a problem. The following: cat <<EOF>/usr/share/postfixadmin/config.local.php || exit 1 <?php
