While attempting to package up the HEAD version of nut for our department/campus, I've run into a couple of minor issues with the latest HEAD - I'm going to give it another whack at a PW9170+ UPS and want to make sure I have the latest revision. :) First is, whilst building the drivers (SNMP required), I get: gmake[1]: Entering directory `/fsys2/source/nut-2.1/nut-2.1_cvs/drivers'

Recently, I was able to create a workable Centos 4.4 "Live USB" on my 1G Lexar Firefly pendrive using the steps in http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html. At the moment, it is doing its job, so I probably won't focus too much more on it. One thing that is annoying, although doesn't cause a problem is that on powerdown and reboot, the cd rom drive ejects - of course, there

Hello, this is a little bit off-topic (even if it have to work on CentOS ;-) I'm looking for a tool to manage a small Public Key Infrastructure, with creation/revocation of certificates X.509, export in PKCS#12 format and have the ability to handle CSR (Certificate Signing Request). I've wrote my own script to perform it (openssl command line based): it's a good way to

Well that didn't work. I got a bootable dvd out of it but the centos installed did not detect the media as having the installation files. It asked for a cd instead of recognizing the dvd. Winiso cannot handle dvd's..:( Anyone have a way to make the centos installer realize all its files are on the dvd instead of looking for three cd's? -- My "Foundation" verse:

Hello, I've checked the ML, but I don't find anything related to CentOS 4.5 (4U5) (missed it ?) Does the 4.5 will be out these days, or will it be released after the CentOS 5 ? Thanks, Pierre Bourgin

I would like to how how I can take the CentOS 4.4 Server Cd for example and modify the ISO to put on my anaconda-ks.cfg file and then modify the kernel parameters to automatically load the anaconda-ks.cfg file so that I can create a CD that I just stick into my machine it will format the drive, install the basic configuration I like without asking any questions. I need to install like 20

Hi List, I have been searching for the correct createrepo command to make a 6.4 respin. We have been doing this with previous versions using createrepo -u "media://$discinfo" -g ${DIR}/my_kickstart${VER}/comps.xml . Which had worked fine until now.

Anyone else experience any difficulty with the install routine recognizing disk 3? I'm trying to install 4-beta under vmware and have had the same problem with either mounting the ISO or burning to disk. I can mount and read no problem from my parent linux installation but the install routine under vmware is complaining that it's the wrong disk. (no other install problems under vmware

Hi people, I ran into one of these silly issues I'd like to share as I think the reason behind it may be a flaw in the current initrds. The setup; Dual-Xeon Intel-chipset motherboard. SATA-disk attached to ICH, onboard Adaptec SCSI-controller. Installed system, updated packages, no problems. Basic, non-LVM partition setup - OS-disk is /dev/sda, single filesystem-partition /dev/sda1 is

Dear All, Firstly, many thanks for the hard work put in by the development team :) Now I have a couple of problems, any help welcome: 1) Some of our software needs linuxthreads (i.e. InsightII) but it's closed source and the writers (Accelrys) are unlikely to respin the code as they want us to move to a different program. Is there any way of installing another set of glibc libs on centos

This script mkdvdiso.sh works for me to make and dvd iso image from the 3 cd's. You can download it from here ftp://people.redhat.com/ckloiber/mkdvdiso.sh

Hello, I tried to make an automatic install bootable CD, with a kickstart file. I use this command to create my CD : sudo mkisofs -v -r -T -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -J -o InstallCD.iso -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -hide-rr-moved . I copied all the contents of the CD #1, on a InstallCD dir, on copied my ks.cfg file into the isolinux directory. When I

I'm trying to install an R package that arrived in a package.tar.gz file. I use: R INSTALL -l /home/adele/packagedir package.tar.gz and I get: ERROR: cannot extract package from package.tar.gz The author of the package assures me that the same command works for his version of solaris and R. He has solaris 5.7 and R 1.4.1, while I have solaris 5.8 and R 1.4.1. Does anyone know

I have a kickstart file that basically runs the following: install nfs --server=nfserver.blah.local --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3 #include %some_file.cfg I want to be able to access or "include" a file on the nfs share not the local CDROM I've got this on. How do I do that? === Al

Hi all, Probably a simple question, but, I'd like to merge both install DVDs into one directory on my PXE server. Obviously I will need to copy all of the files, but do I need to cast a magical incantation to recreate .discinfo, .treeinfo, etc?

I'm unable to install x86_64 on a host. The installer gets through the first part, asking for install type and it begins loading the images from whatever media was selected. Then anaconda spills a series of cryptic messages ending in 'file not found' and the console on F2 is locked up. I've tried this with physical DVD media, PXE-HTTP and media-boot HTTP install. It happens

Hello, Is the dell perc 4dc raid card supported by centos 4 and does it work reliably? thanks Jon

I have an Overland tape library connected, via SCSI card, to an out-of-box, full install of C5 install on an old PC. I have a script that uses tar to archive data to tape and mtx to change tapes. What I don't know, if possible, is to obtain the status of how much tape is left in the drive. If I get a write failure, I'd like to know if the tape is bad or has run out of space. I
