CentOS DVD ISO not downloadable
by Florian Neukamm 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hello list, I wanted to download the CentOS 3.1 DVD image, but since I'm not too familiar with BitTorrent I asked my brother to do so. He tried and told me the tracker was down. I don't know exactly what that means, but he can't download it. Regards, Florian Neukamm

Hola folks, I'm new to Centos and giving it a whirl in a test setting.

fresh install - resolv.conf error?
by Troy Engel 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Before I submit as a bug, has anyone else encountered -- doing a fresh, clean install of CentOS-3 results in a resolv.conf with only my secondary nameserver listed and the search domain. The install works fine, the eth0 and eth1 (onboard e100's) are detected, all the right info entered, etc -- typical by the book textmode (not GUI) install that I'd normally do with RH9/RHEL3. Static IP eth0, 2 nameservers, eth1 unused left at defaults. Anyone else confirm? Unfortunately the machine is already in production, so wiping and retrying to confirm isn't an option for me. Shoulda thought of that sooner... -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

Re: Upgrade install using CentOS-3.1 ISO images (Bart Schaefer)

Be curious myself as to what info you come up with on the "upgrade via ISO" and "SATA" support questions you posed. Hopefully someone on the list will help you out with a reply to the list.

Mounting Windows partition
by Prasanth S 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Hello, I have recently installed CentOS 3.1 on my laptop and its a dual boot with XP on hda1. I was trying to mount that partion on to /mnt/XP. I have a problem here, when i say df, the listing does not show the XP partion (ntfs/hpfs filesystem). Obviously this can be diagnosed as my kernel does not have the appropriate module (Kernel version 2.4.21-9). I came to know that there is one kernel-ntfs rpm which can help us out here. Could some one get me the link for the appropriate download, as i cant find anything for that kernel version. any new suggestions are highly welcome. Thanks in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions.yahoo.com/design_giveaway/

Upgrade install using CentOS-3.1 ISO images
by Bart Schaefer 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

[This message was held for moderation because the mailing list software doesn't recognize <schaefer@...> and <schaefer+centos@...> as equivalent. That was last Friday, but still no sign of the moderator dealing with it, so I'm resending.] Cutting straight to the chase: When, if ever, does the installer offer an option to upgrade an existing installation, rather than wanting to reformat the disks? More details than you may want: I recently acquired a new PC chassis, with no operating system but with a Serial-ATA disk (which I was not expecting when I ordered it). I set the BIOS for legacy IDE mode and installed RedHat 9, then attempted to upgrade the kernel to add SATA support, without much luck. Searching for the SATA driver modules I found CentOS and decided to try it. I downloaded the three ISO images to another PC, burned CDs, and set about to upgrade my RH9. However, the installer never offered me the option of upgrading (keeping my existing filesystems) -- no matter what steps I tried using when starting the installer, by the time it got to the page for disk partitioning it always wanted to start from scratch and blow the existing partitions away. I finally concluded that I hadn't put anything important on the disks during my struggle with RH9, so I went ahead with the clean install. Everything is working nicely at this point, so thanks for that. However, there are some other RH9 systems around the office that may need to be upgraded at some point, and they definitely can't be wiped clean in the process. Is there a way to upgrade from RH9 to CentOS? Any remarks about upgrading from even older RedHat releases?
