BackupPC
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi folks, I've read with interest the next references: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2006-April/002216.html http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1299 Currently I'm using the package without problems. In fact, I installed it from source before and I used the perl modules provided by Dries' and Dag's repo in first time. At present moment I've removed the mentioned packages and I've used only the c4-testing repo. All the installation and dependencies resolving processes has worked great. Good work Johnny ;) ¿Are there some intentions to move BackupPC from testing-repo to extras-repo? I think it is an interesting package, especially in hybrid environment (Win+Linux, ie.)

Re: Metalinks for CentOS (all mirrors & checksums in one file)
by albryan＠comcast.net 06 Feb '07

06 Feb '07

The latest aria2 (0.10.0+1) can autocorrect metalink downloads if they contain chunk checksums. Basically, your finished download should have no errors when it's done, similar to rsync and BitTorrent downloads. And it should be pretty fast (depending on your connection speed) by using multiple mirrors. This automatic error correction is especially nice for ISO downloads, because usually if there is an error in transfer, it messes up the ISO and the full file checksum doesn't match, so you have to download the whole file again (or use rsync or similar). >From Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa, aria2 author: "As of 0.10.0 aria2 supports chunk checksum in Metalink: it validates chunk checksums while downloading a file like BitTorrent. This gives safer and more reliable download experience. 1) Before dowload begins: Use this to correct damaged downloads. 2) Realtime hash checking: Validate checksum on the fly like BitTorrent." CentOS metalinks are at http://download.packages.ro/metalink/ (These do not contain chunk checksums yet, but the chunk checksums can be generated with metalink tools from http://prog.infosnel.nl/metalinks/ ) -- (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ]

It finally works, thanks... I had additional problems, because the machine is Compaq DeskPro EN SFF with ES1869. I found good tutorial how to enable sound card (it is not detected even in plus kernel) http://www.df.lth.se/~triad/krad/linuxinstall.php Thanks again ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://auto-motor-und-sport.bg/ С бензин в кръвта!

Language lists
by Karanbir Singh 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi Guys, We've been looking at the idea of starting off local language lists starting with German, Spanish and Portuguese. These, since we have had people ask for lists and we feel there are people around who can help moderate and monitor. While some work has already been done and there are already some ideas floating around, I'd like to ask everyone here on centos-devel what they think about this and if any suggestions they might have. One thing that would be really good is if we can somehow create the environment for local language / regional centos support groups to get started, and then use that common pool to work with all associated resources ( eg, regional / language lists, wiki, web forums, related irc channels (?) etc ) - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

ISA PnP in Plus kernel
by Hristo Benev 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi, will it be possible to enable ISA PnP support in CentOS Plus Kernel? Many old machines have integrated ISA Sound cards and Kernel recompile is needed to get the sound up. Thank To Dev team for the great job. Foxb ----------------------------------------------------------------- http://auto-motor-und-sport.bg/ С бензин в кръвта!

CentOS5 virtual machine image
by Nils Toedtmann 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Dear CentOS developers, there is a demand for ready-to-boot virtual machine images for distros like CentOS. Since i am an afinicado of CentOS and Xen, i would like to build and maintain a CentOS5-image. Is centos.org interested in hosting such a sub-project? Testing and tasting CentOS would get much easier, it would help making CentOS more popular. Planned features: * support for several VMMs (Xen3, VMware player/workstation/server, VirtualBox, UML, KVM, ...; maybe even VirtualPC ;-) * Click&Run for win32-users: 1. download & install vmplayer 2. download & unzip CentOS-desktop-image.zip 3. double-click "centos.vmx" * sparse flat disk image (most VMMs support this image format) containing two or three partitions (swap, /, maybe /boot) * kernels and initrds to run the image fully and para-virtualized * Firstboot script (setting root-password and hostname) * VMM config files, at least for the most popular VMMs (Xen/para, Xen/HVM, VMware player) * Documentation how to boot the image with those VMMs. Special notes on kernel-xen and virt-manager (CentOS5, FC6) * clean: never booted, empty /{tmp,var/{log,spool/mail,cache/*}} * all changes to the pristine image (like customized /etc/fstab, /etc/X11/xorg.conf) properly documented Different flavors: * arch: i386; maybe x86_64 * image: flat disk sparse; maybe flat filesystem sparse * scope: "minimal" (networking, sshd, yum, vim, cron, syslog); "standard desktop"; maybe "standard server" * archive: sparse-aware .tar.bz2; .zip for win32 hosts RoadMap: * wait for CentOS5-beta2 ;-) * create and post a minimal CentOS5-beta2 i386 image with xen- and vmware configs, wait for reviews/bugreport * create and post a standard desktop CentOS5-beta2 i386 image, wait for reviews/bugreport * if there are enough positive reports, repeat for CentOS5-final * release when/if centos.org is pleased with the (bugfixed) images Are you interested in such a project? I am eager for comments. Regards, /nils.
