Retiring the Tao Linux project
by David Parsley 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hi all, Over the last year or so I've been watching my employer's and my own finances slowly go down the drain, with quality of life and happiness not far behind. Finally this spring, I decided I would have to do something before things got really bad. What I've done is get another job - a REALLY GOOD job, in a very nice area where I'm confident that I and my family will be very happy. I'll be a 'Network Engineer', and as such I'll only spend 5-10% of my time on system administration type stuff. I will, of course, run a Linux desktop (probably dual-boot Fedora latest/RHEL latest). My new employer has also opted for the site license of RHEL, so there's no good reason for me to continue cloning on work time. Now that I have 3 young children, I've spent very, very little of my home time on Tao, and have no intention of taking time away from family for it. So I've spent some time over the past weeks planning an exit strategy, and after conferring with other Tao developers, several of the Tao users I know, as well as the CentOS developers, I've come up with a plan which I've implemented and published at: http://taolinux.org I won't repeat everything here, but I'd just like to say thanks to all the great Tao users who have made this project so fun and interesting.

Is it to possible write data on a NTFS partition?
by osirixu-s＠yahoo.com.cn 11 Jun '06

11 Jun '06

Dear CentOS developers, As I know, though we can read data and replace some words (not changing file size) of files on a NTFS partition with the aid of Linux-NTFS. http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ Well, is there any way to creat a file or a directory in a NTFS partition from CentOS? cheers, Rex June 11,2006 __________________________________________________ 赶快注册雅虎超大容量免费邮箱? http://cn.mail.yahoo.com

Centos 4.2/4.3 Alpha Architecture X11 crash on Matrox Video with signal 11
by Will Langford 09 Jun '06

09 Jun '06

'lo! So nice to see an updated Alpha distro... I currently am having a nasty little problem with X11 on my Alpha. I get constant signal 11's when using the MGA driver, and the VGA driver simply panic's the system. I've tried Centos 4.3 and Centos 4.3, and both have the problem. >From what the following thread: http://www.redhat.com/archives/axp-list/2000-December/msg00410.html Seems to describe the symptoms I'm getting. I've not rebuilt X or glibc, since the libc5 days and am not experienced in working with SRPM's. Any guidance on how to do the modification noted in the above thread to a SRPM would be greatly appreciated, or preferred (for the lazyman inside me), some prebuilt packages :) .... would be greatly appreciated. -Will

by Roger Pe�a Escobio 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

Hi I am one of the pleased users of firefox-1.5.0.2-3.c4.centos but now I wonder if it will get update any time in the future because 1.5.0.4 is few days out already. BTW, where can I find the politics behind update procedure of "the files non provided by redhat" ? is it something like "when the package builder release it" ? thanks in advance roger __________________________________________ RedHat Certified Engineer ( RHCE ) Cisco Certified Network Associate ( CCNA ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

EOL notice for CentOS-4/sparc beta release
by Pasi Pirhonen 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi, I cannot take any more arches for official maintenance at current state of the CentOS-project. I'll keep it security updated until end of August, 2006. After that it's not supported (unless someone else picks it up). I am sorry it has to be this way. Sparc itself is kind of fun/challenging arch to work with. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://pasi.pirhonen.eu/ Top-postings silently ignored

licq: contributed RPM submission
by Durval Menezes 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hello, Here's my submission for a new package: licq, IMHO the best IM program available for Linux, much better than gaim. The URL to the SRPM is: http://www.durval.com.br/RPMS/el4/licq/licq-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.src.rpm I've attached the .spec file. PS: I've tested only the main package (licq-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.i386.rpm); I've not tested the KDE (licq-kde-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.i386.rpm) nor the OSD (licq-osd-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.i386.rpm) packages, as I have no use for either. Best Regards, -- Durval Menezes (durval AT tmp DOT com DOT br, http://www.tmp.com.br/)

hi & submission of updated initscripts rpm
by Jethro Carr 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

hi all, this is the first time I've contributed to a distro that is not my own, so if I'm doing something the "wrong way", please do inform me. :-) Briefly about me - I'm interested in becoming involved in helping to develop CentOS (such as removing RH trademarks from new packages, and adding extra packages.) I have experience with developing distros, from when I developed my own distro called "Jedo Linux". http://www.jethrocarr.com/index.php?page=projects/jedolinux/jedolinux.php In regards to the other subject of this email, I've made a modified version of the initscript package. This adds support for using dm-crypt encrypted filesystems on boot. It allows encrypted swap, and encrypted storage directories. However, it's not really designed for having an encrypted root filesystem (although it could possibly be adapted without too much hassle). I have a source RPM available here: http://www.jethrocarr.com/packages/SRPMS/initscripts-7.93.24.EL-1.1.1.cento… Basicly, I've added written a patch for initscripts, and made a couple of minor changes to the spec file. I wasn't sure what to name it, so I added a .1 and my name to the release name. Feel free to change this to suit if you do decide to add it to one of the repos. :-) Usage details and configuration for the encrypted filesystems are in /etc/sysconfig/enc-fstab. thanks, -- Jethro Carr www.jethrocarr.com www.jethrocarr.com/index.php?page=cv/cv.php
