similar to: HowTos/JavaOnCentOS Wiki page revision?

I've read website http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS. I am a total newbie with CentOS, but currently, with update 21 of the Java 6 JDK and CentOS 5.5, the installing the JDK appears to be simpler: 1. Download the latest *rpm.bin jdk (as of today,jdk-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin) fromhttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp 2. chmod +x the downloaded file. 3. su 4. Execute

I'd like to ask for permission to edit HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey. There was a recent forum thread on using Windows tools to create an installation USB (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=44268&forum=55). I'd tried some suggested tools; see post no 20 in the thread. I'd like to edit the Wiki to reflect my results. Yves -- Yves

Hello everyone! In a CentOS forum thread[1], I was asked by forum member "AlanJBartlett" if I would like to take on the care and feeding of the latter (section 3?) part of the "JavaOnCentOS" article. Initially, I would like to correct the Sun JDK 1.6 part, which instructs readers to download the wrong Sun JDK file (there are two, one .bin and one rpm.bin) for the actual

Hi People I have been following the instructions here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS but trying to modify them for jdk-6u7-linux-amd64.rpm but there doesn't see to be a compatible java-1.6.0-sun-compat-*.rpm. Does one exist ? If not can anyone point me to some documentation on how I can manually set up things so alternatives will work allowing multiple Java versions.

There is a posting in the CentOS forum that can potentially make a good article regarding encryption (or supplement the existing page). Please take a look at #4 of: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=15923&forum=42 The poster says, "I think that the contents of this document would make a good addition to the wiki, but I don't have the

Hello. With the help of the community I finished polishing the translation of my PHP script to Bash version http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=20222&forum=38 It has now autodetection of architecture and CentOS version and handles errors. I have published an article under my homepage here: http://wiki.centos.org/VladislavRastrusny/AutoRPMForgeRepo

Hi All, Quick question, I just finished googling and found the thread that is dealing with the rpmdup_remover.sh script, and thanks to everyone that was involved in this. I followed the following threads: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/centos at centos.org/11086209.html http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=17166&forum=37 Which lead me to the

Dear all, I've succesfully installed a F10 x86_64 KVM guest on C5 x86_64 with the help of the wiki - running for 7 days now. :) Two questions; What's the state of the lfarkas's repository - can it be trusted - I guess yes but google did not help much. It's only mentioned in the kvm howto - not under the third party repos. And sadly http://www.lfarkas.org/ is empty. Second q.

Im curious ? When I click on the logo in upper left corner on wiki.centos.org then I get to the wiki frontpage, not the www.centos.org page!?! This is a bit redundant IMHO, I already have the "frontpage" menu, but there is no way to navigate back to www from the wiki as I can see. And thats the beaviour on http://bugs.centos.org/main_page.php, click on logo gets you back to www.

Hello all. Not sure how many people here also frequent the CentOS forums, so apologies for the 'cross post'. I know some here are using CentOS on HP's ProLiant Microserver, so if anyone's tried eSATA on their box, please let me know. Perhaps best to reply over at the forum - https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=31558&forum=39 Thanks

Hello Ozy, having used Hyper-V for about two years, ever since it was 'published' in it's pre-release version immediately after release of Windows 2008 Server, I'm very glad you found the time to write a Wiki article on the issue. I remember the time drifts in particular, and wasting two whole days troubleshooting the problem until I finally got it resolved - and at that

I have 2 new boxes that I cannot use yet because of problems supporting these newer chipsets in 5.1. Does anyone know when the CD version of 5.0 x86-64 that has support for these chipsets be available on any on a Centos mirror? Has the support for these chipsets been added to yum yet? Here are my latest results with these chipsets and Centos 5.1 1. Asus P5K, E6850, P35 Chipset: Does not

Hi all, I think that every wiki page should have a name(s) of the author/maintainer of that page like in: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS The name that appears at the bottom is not adequate because it could be someone who has just corrected a typo. In fact, that entry can be eliminated once the contact info has been given on the page. The whole purpose of this is of course to make

Hi, since I, just hours ago, followed http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS (Sun's JDK) I thought I'd confirm and update the "A less simple approach" with information that's a bit newer than jdk 1.4. Registered WIKI account: MikaelFridh Furthermore, I'd like to ask you if anyone know what was meant by the comment on the wiki: > *This HowTo is not complete

strugging with things here... tried tracking the info on the Wiki (which apparently is now in need of a maintainer)... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS My primary interest is using Xalan/Saxon/xslt/xsl-fo docbook generation. I was thinking that all I really need is jre but downloaded both jre and jdk just in case. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (after removing both jdk

Hi all, Long time, no speak. Shifting from private sector job to full-time freelance work took its toll. As a result, among other things, the Broadcom Wiki page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom I "maintain" was neglected, and over the past couple of years I've been receiving e-mail inquiries about the Wiki and its applicability. I'm happy to say and
