centos 4 and hardware compatibility
by Powell, Don 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Is centos 4 compatible with gateway 7400 server. We have some spare gateway 7400 servers with 2 intel Pentium iii (FC-PGA Socket 370) processors operating at 667 mhz. Are there any compatibility issues? Fully supported? ^^ Have a Wonderful Day ^^ Don R.

modules.conf changes in kernel 2.6
by Robin Mordasiewicz 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

I used to be able to modify my modules.conf file so that certain NIC cards would load specific drivers. Has this changed in kernel 2.6 i.e. <snip /etc/modules.conf> alias eth0 e100 alias eth1 e1000 </snip> It used to be that I could reverse this order and eth0 would be the GigE card.

[CentOS] New to CentOS, and wondering about application availability
by Dave Gutteridge 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Centos Mailing List, Hello. I have just recently installed CentOS on my home computer, and just joined this mailing list. I have a lot of questions so I will have quite a few postings in the next few days. I was using Fedora Core 4 for a few weeks, but it was unstable and had trouble reading some of my DVD drives and other issues. So, I decided to switch to another distribution. I saw on one site that the three distros being nominated for best distribution by user's vote were Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora Core. I tried Ubuntu, but the installer kept failing. So I went to CentOS. Anyway, long story short, CentOS looks and feels just like Fedora (which I like), and it reads all my DVD drives normally, so I think I could be happy with it. But... When I tried to install Xine, using yum, it said it could not find it. And then I went looking for an RPM for Xine, and they're all for Red Hat or Fedora. I tried installing an RPM for Fedora anyway, reasoning that maybe they were the same in more than just looks, but no dice. As I looked around the net, it seems that applications all seem to have specific builds for Red Hat, Fedora, a couple of Debian builds... but no CentOS. Going by the amount of available information and support, Fedora is the primary Linux distribution, and CentOS hardly even exists. Can't I have it all? Stability, the ability to read my DVD drives, *and* a variety of applications? Is there any kind of resource for instructions on installing CentOS like there is this one for Fedora: http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html Dave

what the best ? apt-get? yum or urpmi ?
by Security 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hello, I must make a choice concerning the use of a tool used to update rpms: yum, urpmi or apt-get. Personally, I use urpmi every day, without real problems (the dependences, even those of Perl are very well managed), the "hdlist" can be used in several forms , it contains a lot of funtions but, it is not integrated into up2date and does not have a graphic interface that fits Centos3 without break all depedencies. There are also the two others: yum and apt-get. Because Centos uses yum, I would like to have a feedback: speed of calculations for the dependences, comparative with apt-get. There are already opinions on the question (yum is easy to install, more flexible, but less powerful. and to connect itself itself to the sources + download the lists of packages even if no update is avaible...... grrr). So, Wthat need I to use for a Centos-like ditribution? (It's to intagrate the tool on Gralinux final) apt-get + synaptic?? yum+yumi???urpmi in command line only ??? Thanks :) jean-seb

vsftpd and Kickstart
by Ken Leyba 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

I'm trying to setup a kickstart server that will use ftp. I created a user account and put the ISO images in /home/centos. I created a directory /home/centos/disc1 and mounted the first ISO image there. When I try to do the ftp install I keep getting an error "Unable to retrieve ftp://my.ftpserver.com//home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img" I tried different versions of the ftp directory but the error above is using /home/centos/disc1. If I manually ftp into the machine and cd to /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/ I can get netstg2.img. However if I do it like this it won't work: ftp> get /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img remote: /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img: No such file or directory ftp> pwd 257 "/home/centos" So, I don't know if vsftpd isn't configured correctly or if I'm not doing something right with the kickstart install. I haven't created a kickstart file yet or mounted the other CD's, I just want to get the install part working first. Ken -- Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. -Pablo Picasso

Re: 4g/4g

From: "Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith(a)ieee.org>" > Hmmm, maybe I haven't built from a stock kernel in a long time. ;-> > All I know is that I've seen it in several other distros. I thought the > whole purpose of the 4Gi/4Gi model was to give a support/performance > point between the 1Gi/3Gi and full 64GiB model. Okay, I did some elementary research and it appears it was never adopted in the stock 2.4 kernel. Although 2.6 seems to have been designed for it -- although I see the issues you were talking about, largely when user >2GiB. I'd be interested in finding out if they have the same issues with the 64GiB mode and formal PAE36 paging. Anyhoo, my apologies on that _poor_ assumption. Given my lack of exposure to stock kernels, I should have kept my mouth shut. I don't know why I didn't put 2-2 together. But it should be noted that it's no longer a Red Hat-only thing. I've seen several non-Red Hat (or long-gone Red Hat forked) distros who are using it. I should have made my responses in that context. Again, my apologies for that. -- Bryan J.
