Someone posted how to use a memory card (USB or another kind) to save settings between boots of a Live CD/DVD. I believe it was posted not too long ago and I thought I had kept the email, but now that I'm looking for the information, I can not find it. I've done some searching and I either get way too many hits or way too few, none of which are what I'm looking for. Does anyone

I created both English and French release notes pages for the upcoming CentOS LiveCD 5.3: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.3 http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.3/French The content is quite similar to the one from the CentOS LiveCD 5.2 except for these changes: - 5.2 -> 5.3 - file information (filename, size, md5sum, sha1sum) - some packages

This update introduces new interesting features like : - support for Xen kernel - built-in md5sum into the resulting LiveCD ISO - a new API See https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/GetToolset for instructions on how to get this updated toolset. Since it is a major update, I expect some bugs. I am looking for feedback from

Folks, I am terribly puzzled by an issue reported as bug 2381 [http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2381] ? definitely an upstream bug, as it does the same under X/OS 5 and StartCom 5. Simply put: Hibernation fails with horrendous I/O errors after swsusp starts dumping to swap. What bugs me is that hibernating from the CentOS 5 LiveCD *works*!!! (on the same hardware) How could I investigate to

At boot time, the system is looking for a resume signature on the default SWAP partition that was defined during the OS installation. On several systems, I changed the location of the SWAP partition.

I have been trying to mount my NTFS hard disk using the CentOS 5.1 Live USB pendrive I created from the LiveCD. I did an "fdisk-l" and see the partition as /dev/sdb1, but when I try to mount it, I get an error stating that NTFS is an unknown filesystem type. I attempted to install the ntfs-3g and fuse rpms, without any success (there were numerous dependancies and could not get libc to

Umm... is there any rational reason to only announce the CentOS-5.3 Live CD on May 27, when it was available since May 19, and Patrice has updated the Release Notes on the same May 19? The CD date is indeed 19-May-2009 02:50 and I've found it on May 21 on all the mirrors I've checked. I was persuaded that the only 5.3 LiveCD available was from ScientificLinux, and I've checked with

This Article describes installation of some packages from EPEL (section 6.1). Listed in the packages to include is java-1.6.0-openjdk*.
