transfer data from one hard drive to another
Hello I have an OS installation and data on a 40 gb drive that I would
like to image to a 80 gb drive. I don't care if the resulting
partition layout on the new drive is only 40 gb making me lose space.
I just want to move everything from the older drive because I think
it's failing. I have looked at partimage and mondo rescue as imaging
solutions but both deal with partitions. CAn someone

Reformatting a USB drive
I have a USB drive that has been formatted as NTFS. Can I reformat it?
I have identified these properties about it
/dev/sda1
/media/Extrnl_Bkup
Not sure what to do next since the GUI will not mount a NTFS disk
(expected).

Limiting files when using rsync
I use the following command to sync the home directory on the two
computers, however I would like not to send the "dot" files e.g.
".ssh". Can that be done, and if so, how would I construct the command
line?
/usr/bin/rsync -av -e ssh /home/ 192.168.0.22:/home/
Many thanks....

Setting up a GUI remote access
Currently I have VNC running on my Windows desktop with Samba
providing access to my Linux server. Since Linux is more
reliable than Windows, I would like to be able to access my Linux
(Centos 5.5) via my Windows notebook - hopefully via VNC or some
similar application and then access the Windows desktop (if it is
not locked up :-) ) with Samba.
What is the best VNC like application to

How to add a HD to a LVM
I have connected a HD that was a prior system drive (Centos 4.8)
and I am not sure of the command line procedures to find out if
it is recognized (I believe it is since it present in the GUI),
delete all data on it and finally add it to the LVM.
I would like to use it as a backup data drive.

Missing dependencies
I tried to update my Centos with yum update as I have done in the past,
but this time I received a list of dependencies. This is a new

How to select a motherboard
Not being familiar with chip sets and other factors that "hardware
experts" understand, I am perplexed with the multitude of available
motherboards. Is there a Web site that can be of help or a "strategy"?
My goal is to replace my motherboard with one that is Centos compatible
and uses a Pentium 4 in the 2 MHz range. As example, when I go to
Mwave, I am presented with

Permissions question
My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the
permissions are 775.
My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd".
Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a
group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint". Using this example, there
is a directory under www (acutally called httpd),

Problem with rpmbuild
I want to be able to recompile php, so I downloaded the src dvd and did a
rpm -i php-4.3.9-3.15.src.rpm
After doing that I wanted to check to see if I can recompile it before
making changes. So, I went to the SPECS dir and did a
rpmbuild -i php.spec
It spent a lot of time doing the compile, but at the end there were errors.
What am I missing?

PHP version dilemma
I am running Centos 5.8; at least
uname -rmi
gives me centos-release-5-8.el5.centos
A CMS package is telling me that I need PHP 5.2x, however yum
update says that I am fully up to date.
Is there a "safe" way to upgrade PHP to 5.2x?

Best configuration for /var/www/html/
For a long period of time, my Apache root directory has been
/home/httpd. For security reasons, this is not so good as
SELinux has informed me. Now all of the files have been copied
to /var/www/etc with owner and group "root". The privileges are
754 (rwxr-xr--), however apache does not have access to them.
Should the owner be apache? Group?

Creating the symbolic links in the /boot and /boot/grub/
I started a new thread since the original one is getting rather long.
I have retrieved the files I deleted in /boot and /boot/grub,
however I need to make links for
/boot/System.map (System.map -> System.map-2.6.9-89.35.1)
/boot/vmlinuz (vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.9-89.35.1)

If it was not so important to get it correct, I would appreciate

Backing up pass words
I am currently running CentOS 4 and want to install CentOS 5.
To do that, I plan to install a new HD in my server box onto
which CentOS will be installed. I will then copy the "home"
directory from the old drive or from a backup on a USB drive,
however I am not sure how to handle the Users/Passwords from the
old installation.
Many thanks...

Locked myself out of MySQL
Darn! I must have either made a typo or my use of a ";" in the
MySQL root password so now I am locked out.
Is there a work around or do I have to uninstall MySQL and reinstall?

Some 3Ware questions
I have not used RAID controller boards to date since I have relied on
the built in RAID on the motherboards. Thanks to the informative
message Byron, I realize the deficiencies of doing RAID 1 this way,
especially now that the builtin is out of date with Kernel used by Centos.
I have 4 ATA drives that were configured in two pairs. I assume that I
need a 3Wave controller that has 4 ports

a situation where manually "setting" the file/directory

I understand the fundamentals of the file attributes, though from
time to time I have to review the "sticky bit"; what I do not

Installing on Abit BE7-RAID
I have RH 8 running on a Abit BE7-RAID motherboard. My task is
installing Centos 4.1 with limited knowledge on installing with hardware
RAID. The arrays are still in place for the two pairs of drives.
HighPoint only shows drivers up through RH 9.
Is there anyone who can take me through the steps? Remove the existing
arrays? Will the drivers work with Centos 4.1? Since I used Windows to

Will Centos work with the Intel D865GLC
I need to replace my Abit BE7 board (cannot run the newer Linux) and
keep my near new IDE HD's (250 GB). A D865GLC is new available that
uses the Intel 865G chip set, but I have no experience in matching
