Is it difficult to build cobbler on Centos or should I just go with Fedora on this one? Basically, if you have experience succeeeding at this, can you drop me a link to a Howto or describe the issues?

while i'm on a Centos5 kick, I was just curious if I simply needed to add a repo or if building these was a matter of waiting in terms of Centos5. Am trying hard to stay away from Fedora if possible... -krb

I'm trying to install CentOS-5.5 on my new HP micro-server, which has no CD drive. I've set up cobbler and cobbler-web on my old server, and can access cobbler-web from my laptop. I have 3 queries about the installation. 1. Is there any advantage is using the 64-bit CentOS rather than 32-bit? 2. The CentOS OS seems to be available in 7 or 8 CDs.

Hi everyone, We are updating local repos from different mirrors using cobbler reposync. This has been working fine for the longest time but started to fail a few days ago (see below for failure details). I first try to use a different mirror but that didn?t help. This morning, I modified cobbler to disable the auto-update for the centos/6/extras/i386/ and centos/6/extras/x86_64/ repos. After

I am slowly migrating the data etc off an old CentOS32 4.x server to a new CentOS64 5.x server. The old server only has 15Gbyte of its hard drive in use. Is there an easy/safe way to copy the entire contents of old server root directory to a directory on the new server for future reference? Most of the data is various test files, perl scripts, etc. scattered all over.

Hi All, Does anybody have any tips or suggestions for migrating from a CentOS + Xen setup and using cobbler/koan [1] for VM provisioning to an XCP setup using XCP templates (or similar) to provision VMs? cobbler/koan make use of kickstart, which It looks like XCP can do as well. Mainly, I am wondering if converting the cobbler profiles could be done automatically and reliably? Any comments,

Hello All. Below are some compile times for 2.6.20 on an fx-62 running Centos64 with various 2 gig sticks of dual channel ram (See previous posts with subject of 'segfaults with 8gig of ram' for more details.) It seems dual channel will compile a kernel faster, but only gained around 30 seconds over 20 minutes. Below are the shortest/longest compile times of several compiles done over the

Hey I need to run some pgp commands, -what's the name of the package supported by Centos that will allow me to work with pgp? I need to run pgp --fingerprint key.name or it's equivalent.
