Hi, I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB is also installed on the Debian side. On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is: hdb1 -> swap hdb2 -> /boot, ext2 hdb3 -> / , ext3 After

Hi, On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in console mode. However, I tried this on my minimal CentOS 5 install, and right after GRUB, the screen just blanks. I add that this (test) machine ran maybe a

Hi, One nice thing I have with Debian is the possibility to have a really stripped-down install of things. Let's take an example. I want a cholesterol-free install of GNOME, I 'apt-get install gnome-core' which gives me the bare working minimum of GNOME as a starting point, and then I install what I really need. The same thing applies for KDE, with 'apt-get install

Hi, The subject says it all. I'm currently fiddling with CentOS to become comfortable with it. Starting from a minimal system (everything unchecked during install), I wanted to have a reasonable set of build tools. Roughly the equivalent of Debian's 'apt-get install build-essential'. I tried yum groupinstall "Development Tools", which resulted in a total of 108 MB

Hi, Once I'm working with Yum, can i safely remove pirut? cheers, Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

Hi, I'm a 40-year old sysadmin living in Montpezat, a small village in the sunny south of France. I'm a Linux user since 2001, when I made my first steps on a 486 with a Slackware 7.1 CD. I've tried maybe two dozen distributions, but I've stayed mostly with Slackware and Debian. Since last summer, I work as a sysadmin for our "Communaut? de Communes", a group of 16

Hi, I have CentOS 5 installed, and I'd like to read the RHEL 5 Deployment Guide in french. The online version seems to be available in english only. There's an RPM package on my system: # rpm -qa | grep -i depl Deployment_Guide-fr-FR-5.0.0-19.el5.centos Deployment_Guide-en-US-5.0.0-19.el5.centos Now what does the package consist of? 'rpm -ql' on the package shows a series of

Hi, I'm currently reading chapter 13 of the RHEL Deployment Guide, and taking some notes. I have a few minor questions: /etc/sysconfig/network According to the doc: "This file specifies routing and host information for all network interfaces." Here's how mine looks like: --8<----------------- NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=fujitsu.zuhause

Hi, I have CentOS 5 with the XFCE-4.4 window manager installed. (BTW, I've tried many XFCE-centered distros before, and CentOS offers by far the cleanest implementation). Two questions for that. 1) I've seen various HOWTO's about how to display Samba shares with the Thunar file manager. Did anyone manage to do this with CentOS? 2) Is there some HOWTO about configuring that nice

Hi, I just installed CentOS 5 on a few machines, to experiment with it. I have some trouble installing a Java plugin for Firefox. I've searched through the forum and read the various info at jpackage.org, and I'm a bit confused. 1) Can you point me to some reliable bit of information, even if it's laconic? 2) If I understand the info on http://jpackage.org/yum.php correctly,

Hi, Here's my video card: $ lspci | grep -i vga 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3) Until now, I've used it on Slackware (10.0, 10.2, 11.0) and Debian (Sarge, Etch), and I've always managed to set it up fine. First, I checked if there were any precompiled nvidia drivers in the various repos (rpmforge, ...), but there seemed to

Ok, I understand, now. I just leave multiple desktops in place and switch between them as I want. But perhaps you have reasons to do it as you do. That is one thing I really appreciate about Linux, the fact that there are many, many ways to accomplish almost everything and that what is right and works for me may not be what works best for you. Your scripting style is irrelevant so long as it

Although you would probably be better off asking on the elrepo mailing list rather than the CentOS list. Anything you are particularly interest in?
