time stray on the latest centos release: 2.6.9-11.EL
by Blair Lowe 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hi, The clock on my laptop seems to be straying dramatically from the real time even if I turn off ntpd. Could it be the clock applet itself? After I run rdate with ntpd off, it starts to stray right away. This started in the last two weeks after doing many updates. Has anyone else seen this, or even fixed it? Thanks in advance, Blair.

ServerCD Testing
by Karanbir Singh 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

hi guys, I need some feedback on the ServerCD's - they are on dev. box for both i386 and x86_64, most of you know where to look. If you dont know where to look, I suggest you wait for the release ( which should happen in the next day or so ) - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

what's up with iproute-2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4?
by Matthew Miller 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

There is an update to iproute, 2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4, in the i386 updates area, but not in x86_64. The changelog contains the terse comment "fix for CentOS bug #1476", which is here: <http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1476>. Unfortunately, that doesn't indicate exactly what the issue was, or mention anything about being i386-only. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks! -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

Metalinks for CentOS (all mirrors & checksums in one file)
by Anthony L. Bryan 17 Sep '06

17 Sep '06

Hi, Just another ping to see if CentOS is still interested in using metalink. It's especially useful for large files such as .ISOs. OpenOffice.org (http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/magnet.html) and 7 Linux/BSD distributions are using it to distribute their ISOs and other software updates. kernel.org will be using it soon as well. They can be automatically generated with software from your Romanian mirror at http://metalink.packages.ro/ aria2 RPMs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4: http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/packages/aria2/info.html There's a metalink for CentOS at http://www.metalinker.org/samples/CentOS-4.4-i386-LiveCD.iso.metalink if anyone wants to try it out. Here's some more information on Metalink: 'Metalinks makes complex download pages obsolete by replacing long lists of download mirrors and BitTorrent trackers with a single .metalink file. As you might have already guessed, a .metalink file is a file that tells a download manager all the different ways it can download a file. The file itself takes the form of an open XML standard that can list an unlimited number of HTTP and FTP sources as well as BitTorrent trackers and ed2k and magnet links.' (http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/08/28/metalinks-integrated-bittorrent-htt p-and-ftp-downloads/) (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ]

Small typo: Let me know if this post is inappropriate for this list.
by William L. Maltby 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Figuring that most users don't read manual pages anyway, my guess was that most General List users would find this an irritation. Thought I would stick it here. If you don't want this sort of feedback, or it doesn't belong on this list, just tell me.

Idea for single CD install
by Shriramana Sharma 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

I tried the 4.4 LiveCD and find it has a very good selection from both GNOME and KDE. I request that a single installer CD (as opposed to the full 4 CD set or 1 DVD) be provided for installing the same contents to the hard disk, just like a regular install. Maybe you can do the installer on the same live CD, like the Kubuntu Desktop CD. Single CD installs will go a long way to popularize CentOS, IMHO. P.S: Seeing as this Live CD is based on the linux-live scripts, and SLAX which uses the same linux-live scripts can be just copied to HDD and run from there, is it also possible to do the same with CentOS? P.P.S: I will be travelling a week starting today so I may not reply quickly. -- Shriramana Sharma Linux user #395953 using Kubuntu 6.06.1

by Tru Huynh 15 Sep '06
