similar to: Clone a custom CentOS 7 desktop using G4L over FTP

Hi, I have a few identical Dell Optiplex 7010 machines that I want to use for our school's computer room. I tried to clone these installations (like I did before on CentOS 5 and various versions of Slackware), but this time I ran into a problem. Here's what I did. 1. Install one computer and zero unused hard disk sectors with dd. 2. Send the image to a local FTP server using G4L

Hi, I'm currently setting up a local FTP server, to receive disk images sent with G4L (Ghost4Linux). This server has been running Slackware Linux before, and the Vsftpd setup was relatively simple. With CentOS things seem to be slightly different, so I'm currently trying to work things out. For the moment, two things seem to be creating problems, the simple iptables firewall and

Has anyone used g4l (ghost for linux) with centos 4.2 or 4.X? I just tried it with RAW mode, it made the image on my ftp server, I then tried to restore it, seemed like it went ok, tried to reboot and it starts up looks like it is going to work but then something is not right? I am not even sure how to explain what is not right. can you share your steps. Thanks, Jerry -------------- next

Hi, Try "iptables -I INPUT" for your FTP rule. -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

I **KNOW** how to use UUID's ... this is NOT the reason why I am doing this! I *NEED* the order of the disks to be

Hi, In my daily work I'm mainly using USB keys for work : one with CentOS 7, one with OpenSUSE Leap 15.1, one with Slax Live for data recovery purposes, one with Ghost4Linux and one with FreeDOS which I use for flashing the odd BIOS. Last week I bought a set of three flashy colored USB keys in a local shop. To my surprise, none of them seem to be able to boot anything. When I write a

Hello All, I guess it is very common for administrative purpose, to dump and restore a CentOS 7 system. I usually use dump/restore commands. However, I?m having trouble to handle installing bootloader and creating initramfs for C7 system. Does anyone know a good document source that details those procedure? Thank you, Xinhuan Zheng

Hi I have read instructions for udev, I also found many example on how to do this. I want to lock in the SDA/SDB/SDC for my drives and I came up with a rule like this KERNEL=="sd?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="ST500DM002-1BC142_W2A56H8A", NAME="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger ID_SERIAL=$ENV{ID_SERIAL} set to /dev/sda ",

I used to install my own heavily customized version of Slackware on these machines (http://www.microlinux.fr/slackware/), but this was a bit of a hassle to maintain. CentOS 5.x is running perfectly well on these

Hi, I often have to deal with relatively obsolete hardware in schools, public libraries, small town halls, etc. I still have a handful of CentOS 5.x installations around for these, but I wonder what CentOS 6.x desktop specs are, e. g. the minimum requirements (in terms of CPU and RAM) to reasonably run it. Will a battered first-generation P-IV with 512 MB RAM be sufficient? How much RAM does

Hi, This question is not exactly CentOS-related strictly speaking, but here goes. I'm running a few newsletter servers for myself and a handful of clients on public CentOS servers with PHPList. For the last twenty years or so I've followed the basic rule that mails should have no formatting whatsoever, only simple text. And now I wonder if that basic rule of netiquette also applies to

Hi, Today I noticed something strange. There seem to be a series of duplicate desktop menu entries in /usr/share/applications. Example: gedit.desktop and org.gnome.gedit.desktop Other example: nautilus.desktop and org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop This is annoying, since I usually edit some custom menu entries for my users. Now, if I edit both files for a single application, I end up with duplicate

Hi all, I would like to check with you all if the following is possible: I'd like to combine G4L (Ghost clone) with PXE (been done before) but in such a way that an option in LDAP is checked after booting with PXE. If it's set, a certain program is executed with certain parameters (G4L), if not, the PC should continue to boot in it's installed operating system. Is the latter

Hi, I'm just migrating some stuff from Slackware Linux to CentOS, and I have a question about the orthodox way of configuring a network connection. On a desktop or workstation, I usually get rid of NetworkManager: # systemctl stop NetworkManager # yum remove NetworkManager Then I edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXXX file corresponding to my network interface. Here's

I've got a user of my g4l project that is having a system that locks with my kernels, but also with hdt? The default versions are using the 5.10 version of syslinux, but build a special setup using 6.02 and it still locks with both the kernels and the hdt? He was able to get gparted i486 live iso to boot on the machine, so not clear what the issue might be. The system is a Fujitsu T734

Hi, I'm currently writing my fourth book about Linux, for the french editor Eyrolles. The book will cover Linux server basics for pros, and it will be based on CentOS 7. I have a quick question to those of you who use either Windows 10 or Mac OS X as their everyday desktop system. How do you write a bootable CentOS USB disk using either Windows 10 or Mac OS X ? I've googled this, of
