I want to make a very minor change to the netinstall ISO image, namely adding a few parameters to the boot line to automatically kick off a kickstart installation. Here is my approach: mount -o loop CentOS-6.2-i386-netinstall.iso /mnt cp -pr /mnt /tmp cd /tmp/mnt vi isolinux/isolinux.cfg # Add some stuff to the default append line and reduce timeout mkisofs -o

I'm trying to setup a kickstart server that will use ftp. I created a user account and put the ISO images in /home/centos.

Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at

I have been searching the net for directions on rhel and centos 5(1) to log in to a windows domain and have found many examples, all different and none work for me.

For ages I have been keeping docs and notes in Public Folders inside an Exchange server and want to move this out to a more modern facility that allows tagging and searching via a web interface for keywords so I can keep all my notes more organized. Anyone have any personal recos for the slickest system to do this with. Given the nature of my home setup, its routinely used to lab stuff up so I
