CentOS 5 Live CD
by Patrice Guay 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

I am currently building a Live CD for CentOS 5. I am using the livecd-creator script from the livecd-tools project [1]. Here is my setup: - A workstation with CentOS 5 i386 - dosfstools 2.11-8 [2] - livecd-tools 009-11 [2] - pykickstart 1.0-1 [2] To create a live CD, you need a kickstart configuration file[3]. You also need to increase the maximum number of open files: # ulimit -n 65535 Then, you can start the creation process (~30 minutes): # livecd-creator --config=centos-livecd-desktop.ks The resulting iso image (644MB) can be transfered to an USB key... # livecd-iso-to-disk <isopath> <usbstick device> ... or simply burned to a CD or DVD. The live CD has a writable /usr directory. However, it can not be used to install CentOS 5 on your system. A new anaconda package will be required to achieve this functionality. [1] http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/livecd [2] These packages are available at http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/i386/live [3] http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/i386/live/centos… -- Patrice Guay

yum 2.4.3 updates for CentOS 3 and 4 in the testing repo
by Daniel de Kok 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi all, We have added yum 2.4.3 updates for CentOS 3 and 4 to the CentOS testing repository. These packages introduce the following changes: * CentOS 4: yum now requires the yum-metadata-parser package. This is a backport of the yum C metadata parser, and provides an significant performance increase over the Python metadata parser. * CentOS 3: this is the first release of yum 2.4 for CentOS 3, and we plan to provide this as an optional upgrade through the CentOSPlus repository. We have added code to yum 2.4 for default kernel handling (as setting the default kernel after kernel updates was handled by yum 2.0). Additionally, the package also requires the yum C metadata parser. Please test these RPMs, and provide feedback. We are especially interested in stress testing of the new components (default kernel handling on CentOS 3, and the C metadata parser on CentOS 3 and 4). Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Thanks, Daniel

Hi all, If anyone is interested in KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine): I have (unofficial) KVM-33 testing SRPMS available at: http://people.centos.org/~daniel/packages/kvm/ Please note that on CentOS/i386 kvm-kmod should be compiled for the i686 arch (otherwise, matching kernel-devel packages can not be found). More information about KVM is available at: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki Including a list of supported guest OSes: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Guest_Support_Status -- Daniel

'Correct' way to load snd-ioctl32 module?
by James Pearson 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

I want to be able to run i386 applications on CentOS4 x86_64 boxes that use sound - for this to work the snd-ioctl32 kernel module needs to be loaded. This module isn't loaded by default by rc.sysinit, and I was just wondering if anyone knew the 'correct' way to get this module installed. I can get it to work by adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf: install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && \ /sbin/modprobe snd-ioctl32 This works fine - but is this an acceptable way to do this? Is there a better method? Thanks James Pearson
