limitations?
by first last 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

Hi, The centos.org home page says CentOS-3 is based on Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 ES. Would I be able to run >2 processors and >8GB memory on CentOS-3 (what RHEL _AS_ supports), or am I limited to what RHEL ES supports? Thank you for your time. ~z -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

yum fails on IBMJava2-JRE
by Josh Hildebrand 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

My yum update for CentOS-2 started to fail a while ago. http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/updates/headers/header.info mentions this line: 1:IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-10.i386=i386/IBMJava2-JRE-1.3.1-10.i386.rpm But that file doesn't seem to exist anywhere. So I end up with this error and it exits. getting /var/cache/yum/update/headers/IBMJava2-JRE-1-1.3.1-10.i386.hdr Error getting file http://mirror.centos.org/centos-2/updates//headers/IBMJava2-JRE-1-1.3.1-10.i 386.hdr [Errno 6] ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong Please help me understand how I can fix this. Or if it's just a bad header.info on the mirrors? Thanks! -- Josh Hildebrand

I've recently added a tool to Mezzanine (www.kainx.org/mezzanine/) called "specgen" for generating spec files from source tarballs. You might want to give that a try. And if you have any problems, let me know so I can fix them. :) Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.

RE: [Centos] Linux 2.6 Kernel
by Sorisio, Chris 16 Apr '04

16 Apr '04

That might be a nice option for a testing branch, but wouldn't implementing a 2.6 kernel option go against the Centos 3 objective of reimplementing RHEL 3? Some of the 2.6 kernel enhancements have been backported in the Redhat EL kernel, if I understand correctly. Check out: https://www.redhat.com/apps/webform.html?event_type=whitepaper&eid=278 -----Original Message----- From: Lynn, Jim [mailto:Jim.Lynn@conocophillips.com] Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 5:53 PM To: centos(a)caosity.org Subject: [Centos] Linux 2.6 Kernel Are there plans to implement the 2.6 kernel??
