Using sha256sum instead of md5sum for package checksums
by Johnny Hughes 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

There are known Collision Attacks for the MD5SUM method of hashing, so it is possible to modify a file and make it have the same MD5SUM as another file. See this link for details on Collision Attacks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_attack Recommendation from the US-CERT concerning MD5SUM hashes: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/836068 Based on the above information, the CentOS team will be using sha256sum (sha-2) and not md5sum to generate future hashes for posting on our e-mail announcements to the CentOS Announce Mailing List. Thanks, Johnny Hughes The CentOS Project

Release for CentOS-6.1 Minimal i386 and x86_64
by Karanbir Singh 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.1/minimal for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. The minimal install iso media is an alternative install to the main CentOS-6.1 distribution and comes with a trimmed down, preselected rpm list. However, it still runs off the standard installer, with all the regular features that one would expect from the main distribution, except the rpm selection screen has been disabled. Running an install from this media will not allow you to change the rpms selected for install. Release Notes for this media can be found at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.1 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : 07a86e905f4c389eb92d4e5a04d0a2c4e583dbcbf2243781107273117b31628c CentOS-6.1-i386-minimal.iso 971fb86182814c7a4e4712d37831a87a28611b5332af1efa6322b818ae6a0d48 CentOS-6.1-x86_64-minimal.iso The ISO files are avilable at : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ Since the size for these files is relatively small, no torrent files are being released. +++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTES: We have tried to test this install for most deployment roles, including VMs and physical machines. And with lvm, mdraid, iscsi and dm-multipath environments. These images also contain the complete recovery and rescue environment found in the main distribution. You should be able to use these images from CD media, DVD media, USB storage devices. We do not recommend these images be used with kickstart files written for the main CentOS distro images. An install will setup yum to work with the regular default CentOS 6.1 repositories. Once the installed machine instace boots it should work just like a regular CentOS machine, with only the bare minimal rpms installed. All package management, networking and storage related functionality should already be in place. +++++++++++++++++++++++ There is no upstream Minimal media product. These ISOs only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.1 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution. We appreciate all forms of feedback about these images, including specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future releases. The best place to provide this feedback is via the centos-devel mailing list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) and feature requests via the issue tracker ( http://bugs.centos.org/ ). Special thanks to Manuel Wolfshant for requesting and then doing a lot of the work to make the minimal disk images happen; And everyone on the CentOS QA team who contributed their time and resources towards testing these images. Enjoy! -- Karanbir Singh The CentOS Project irc: z00dax, #centos(a)irc.freenode.net

by Karanbir Singh 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-6.1 LiveDVD for i386 and x86_64 architectures. Detailed Release Notes are available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveDVD6.1 +++++++++++++++++++++++ Overview The CentOS-6.1 LiveDVD is meant to be a Linux environment suited to be run directly from either DVD media or USB storage devices. It does not need any persistent storage on a machine, which also makes it a suitable recovery environment. The LiveDVDs are setup to run as full desktop environments and include most of the applications used in this role. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Download SHA256SUMs : f2ccfa6ead6ddf9c27ba14d240b1a422c9d7577c7a74320a5975f7a788715ddc CentOS-6.1-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso 41910fdd51407c3bd329577891e25d24671568160b77876f44875fb87efe80e6 CentOS-6.1-i386-LiveDVD.iso The CentOS-6.1 LiveDVD is released to all external mirrors and available for download now. List of mirrors is available at these urls : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/ http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ Due to the size of these DVDs, torrents have also been released and are being seeded at this time. The torrents are available at: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.1-x86_64-LiveDVD.tor… http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/CentOS-6.1-i386-LiveDVD.torrent Once you download the images, its important to verify contents using the sha256sum utility, against the published sums here. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Notes You can now install the Live environment to your hard disk (which wasn’t possible with the 5.x Live medias). Please note that you need more that 512Mb of ram to be able to use that ‘install to hard drive’ feature (If you have less than 512Mb of ram, you can install to disk but in text-mode, meaning that instead of clicking on the desktop icon, you have to launch a gnome-terminal and launch the ‘liveinst’ command from within the terminal) There is no upstream Live media product. The Live media produced within the CentOS Project is based on and around the livemedia tools from the Fedora Project. These LiveDVD only contains content found within the primary CentOS-6.1 distribution. No package from outside the distribution was included and no package has been changed from whats included in the base distribution. We appreciate all forms of feedback about these LiveDVD, including specific application inclusion requests or feature changes in future releases. The best place to provide this feedback is via the centos-devel mailing list ( http://lists.centos.org/ ) and feature requests via the issue tracker ( http://bugs.centos.org/ ). Special thanks to Fabian Arrotin for taking up the LiveCD and LiveDVD efforts, and to everyone on the QA team who worked through the issues and helped build, test and release these images. -- Karanbir Singh The CentOS Project irc: z00dax, #centos(a)irc.freenode.net
