similar to: Making custom USB install media

I?ve been creating slightly modified CentOS netinstall ISO images using the following steps: Copy contents of CentOS netinstall ISO image to a temporary directory Edit isolunux/isolinux.cfg file Create new ISO image using the following command: mkisofs -o new.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T /tmp/iso I?ve been using

Have you tried /usr/bin/isohybrid on the ISO file? Alfred

I'm just starting to test CentOS 6 in our environment, and as a first step did a basic install from DVD (Desktop target, all defaults). Next I will try to automate the installations as I did for CentOS 5 using the anakonda-ks.cfg file generated by the manual install. However, I can't wrap my brain around the new NetworkManager to get it to configure the eth0 interface to obtain an IP

Thanks for that info, it makes the USB stick bootable. This will make kickstart installations so much easier, especially for systems that don?t have a CD-ROM (we used to have to scrounge for an

I took my anaconda-ks.cfg file, cp to ks.cfg and copied to a floppy The isos have been copied to an ftp server. So I had the following lines in my ks.cfg intall url ftp://10.1.1.1// (yes the ftp server's directory is the Centos directory) This is along with all the appropriate network command to get the ethernet setup. I issue the linux ks=floppy (also tried linux

Hey List, I apologize for how broad this may be, but hopefully someone here can help me out. I need to make custom kickstart installers to be used in the field to install microservers (Intel NUCs, EFI boot) that don't have optical drives and may not have internet connections. I can make a custom ISO just fine using the pretty common steps, specifically following what's here:

I have a stock CentOS 5 system as far as email (sendmail) is concerned that is on our corporate LAN. I am not trying to set up a mail server; I merely want our CentOS systems to be able to send out emails. This works as long as the recipient's domain is our local domain. Any email send to recipients that are not in our local domain get stuck in the queue: # mailq

I know this mostly depends on what is/will be done upstream, but with the recent announcement that Firefox 1.5.X will only receive updates until April 24, 2007, is Firefox 2.X in CentOS' future? Alfred

The thread "Problems with kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64? reminded me that I have a similar problem but on the latest CentOS 6 kernel I?ve been meaning to report.

Does anyone have remote desktop connectivity working in CentOS 5.3? I'm using the Gnome desktop and have configured the Remote Deskop Preferences to "Allow other users to view your desktop" and "Allow other users to control your desktop". The configuration dialog box says that "Users can view your desktop using this command: vncviewer

I have a CentOS 5.3 VM running under VMware on a WIndows XP laptop. Everything works fine when connected to the network. However, removed from the network, most everything in the CentOS VM takes minutes to complete. For instance, starting a new Terminal window takes over 3 minutes. I did an strace, and there are a couple of long waits when trying to open a socket

A friend has an old Pentium-133 laptop with 32MB of memory and a 1.3 GB hard disk that he wants to use as a web server for a very small community. Will CentOS (or any other RHEL derived distribution for that matter) install and run with acceptable performance on such a system, or will a specialized distribution like Damn Small Linux be a better choice? In this case, disk space is not a big

We have a third party shared library from a vendor that requires glib 2.15 or newer. We are using CentOS 6.6 which comes with glibc 2.12, and I know it can?t be replaced as it?s an integral part of the OS. However, is it possible to build a glib 2.15 RPM from source to be installed in /opt/centos (or somewhere else other than /usr/lib) so that I can link the one application that requires the

I'm running the command "yum -y update" from a script called from the the post section of my kickstart config file, and I get the following error: Installing : kernel-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686 185/378 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template After the install, if I log in to the system and remove that RPM and then re-install it with
