Reorganising general CentOS FAQ
Hi guys,
I would like to reorganise the general CentOS FAQ. It now has 20 questions
about a lot of different things that can be structure much better. I would
like to add some questions, but lacking any structure...
I would like to make a distinction between the following subjects:
- General questions about the CentOS project

MoinMoin TableOfContents
Hi,
I constantly find myself fighting the wiki syntax. Today the problem is
that I want a TableOfContents that does NOT include the page title.
To be honest, I do not understand why the page title (level 1) is included
in the TOC, and why it does not appear in the head-title (<head><title>).
I found with Google that there is a syntax like:
[[TableOfContents(4,2)]]

References to titles
Hi,
Can we implement a solution in MoinMoin so that titles in articles can be
referenced ? I wanted to link to the 'Contribute to the wiki' subtitle in
a blog article, but the link looks like:
http://wiki.centos.org/Contribute#head-42b3d8e26400a106851a61aebe5c2cca54dd79e5
while I would have expected something like this:

That is a very good questions and I personally veel very sad that Red Hat
chose to do this.
RHEL5 (and CentOS 5) are based on development done on Fedora Core 6. Red

Wiki restructure
Hi all,
Now that there is an effort underway to improve the look/theme of the
Wiki. I would like to discuss the content of the wiki.
IMO there are too many links on the frontpage. With a new theme, the
News/Events items on top can go into a sidebar, so that will be taken care
of the news items. I will not discuss them here.
But currently, there is little structure in all the links/titles on the

Last character of the boot prompt gone missing ?
Hi,
I think I found a problem with syslinux where if you have an entry in the
syslinux config file (eg. linux) and you type some additional parameters
on the boot-prompt (eg. noacpi) the last character of the prompt is cut
off (and missing from /proc/cmdline).
This does not seem to happen for the append line in the config file, only
for additional parameters on the boot prompt. (I guess it

Improving the PageRank of individual wiki pages
Hi,
Let me first stress that the success of the wiki is tight to how many
users find it as a resource. And that users will only find the wiki for
their problems if it has a higher PageRank.
(I am using PageRank as an example, other search engines would do
better if we can implement some changes overall.)
If we take the HowTos/Laptops/Wireless page as an example, the page is not

[artwork] Image for external links
Hi,
Can we use the same image for external links on the wiki as we are using
for Trac ? It is much less obtrusive in pieces of text.
A gray box with arrow instead of a colorful globe.

I am still having troubling with PXE.
Thanks for replying Shao.I did follow ur suggestions and my results have
improved a bit.From Ethereal and TCPdump, I can see that the client

Another attempt for a Team page
Hi all,
I've updated our Team page a bit, added a table for everyone already
there. Now I still don't like the fact that we have the distinction
between the Core members (whatever that means) and the others. Some have a
@centos.org email address, we could use that as a distinction ?
I do think we need to make that page exclusive to people that have some
sort of responsibility, and

Merging Documentation and Help pages
Hi,
Going over the wiki some more I noticed that the GettingHelp and
Documentation page contain the same type of information and could be
merged (and reduced) as well.
On the FrontPage it is called "Learn" (which I like) and
points to the Documentation page. On top it says "Help" and points to the
GettingHelp page.
I would prefer to keep the Documentation page (or rename

Dovecot RH RPM packages
Hi,
I can't remember if I already told you, but I'm building RPM packages of
dovecot for RH73, RH80 and RH9. You can find these at:

Or use apt as described on:

I also added a sysv file to the SPEC-file for use with Red Hat.

CentOS Events on wiki menu
Hi,
Is it possible to rename the CentOS Events tab to simply Events ?
The other tabs do not include CentOS either.
For a published article today I required a desktop screenshot. However on
1024x768 with a non-fullscreen browser at wiki.centos.org, the number of
tabs required me to make the browser-width larger than I liked it to be.

AW: CentOS 5 release for IBM z/Series?
Hi dag!
Thx for your reply!
So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z?
At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it.
Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the
decision-maker.
So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion

Standard file extensions for zipped floppy images
Hi,
I was wondering what's the best standard file extension for zipped DOS
disk images and ramdisks. I've been using the following standard:
.zi kernels, memtest86, memdisk
.igz .img.gz zipped floppy images and ramdisks
I'd rather have a different extension for ramdisks, maybe
.zim zipped floppy images
.zrd zipped ramdisks
Any ideas ?
It would also be nice if syslinux

CPU usage while at syslinux boot prompt
Hi,
Today I was contacted by a VMware colleague asking me why my test systems
were using almost 100% CPU while waiting for a prompt. He was used to this
behaviour for DOS guests :)
Apparently the isolinux boot CD that is waiting for another test Linux
installation is using about 1.8Ghz of the 2.5Ghz virtual CPU on a VMware
ESX 3.0.2 host.
Since I have 5 of these VM guests that are used for

kbdmap module file format error
Hi,
I was excited to find the kbdmap module, but have some problems making it
work with keyboard mapping files that works fine with syslinux.
I tried by using both:

menu label ^Belgian (be)
kernel kbdmap.c32 maps/be.ktl
as well as:
label be
menu label p Belgian (be)
kernel kbdmap.c32
append maps/be.ktl
but I always get the error:
