Using CentOS trademarks/artwork etc.
by Axel Thimm 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi, mythdora is a project that uses Fedora + some ATrpms packages to create a mythtv livecd/dvd. For quite some time I wanted to see it get a cousin based on CentOS5. The packages are already available, it "only" takes some glue. What are the rules to play with regarding CentOS trademarks/artwork? Is it OK to use them, perhaps even derive some artwork out of it (a television like CentOS logo? :) Would names like mythcentos or similar be OK with CentOS? Not that it matters in this context, but who owns CentOS trademarks and artwork? I hope someone does at least in the US to prevent any abuse. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

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

Modify Live CD image
by Matt Gessner 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hello, I'm trying to add some files to /lib/firmware (for a Broadcom wireless card) on my Live CD. Since it's read-only, this means having to go back and modifying the .iso file. I'm assuming the files I want are in centos-live.sqfs. How can I go about making these changes? I realize the firmware files can't be there to begin with, but so far, I've got no success in making these files available when the driver loads since AFAIK it's only going to look in /lib/firmware. Thanks in advance.

Inclusion of rhnlib
by Dag Wieers 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi, I'd like to request the inclusion of the upstream rhnlib package into CentOS. Even though RHN in itself does not work if you have no entitlement, mrepo uses rhnlib python modules to archive updates from RHN for RHEL. Without rhnlib, CentOS cannot be used to set up an internal RHN mirror for RHEL packages using mrepo. And I know of people that do (and need to manually copy an rhnlib package from RHEL). Besides, rhnlib does ship with CentOS 4 :) Thanks for considering. -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

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
