Re: [CentOS] Kernel building
by Brian T. Brunner 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I've needed int0 (timer) to be sharable, and to change the basic timing interval, so I've had to modify & compile kernels from 7.1->7.3 Since the hardware had 64MB RAM as a fixed limit, stripping the kernel of unnecessary stuff was also helpful. I''ve not yet dug that far with my new CentOS.

I haven't built a custom kernel since the modular approach included everything I needed somewhere in the RedHat 6.x era. I can't think of any reason to do it other than needing to add drivers that won't work as modules. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Kernel building
by Sam Drinkard 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I have not even decided if I want to undertake a kernel build, but for the sake of discussion, if everything happens to be in the stock kernel, why, other than file bloat, would you want to build a custom kernel? In FreeBSD, you can remove all those devices and drivers that are not needed, and, depending on how much stuff you add or delete, can make a decent size reduction in the kernel itself. I'm not smart enough to know if there is a performance trade-off with a whole bunch of unneeded modules or drivers in the kernel, but perhaps common sense tells me that there must be some kind of performance hit otherwise. Kernel building in Linux is very much different from the BSD camps, and I'll admit I'm not sure I understand enough about the Linux build process to undertake it. Comments appreciated...... -- Snowman

Be generous with techical details that help the poster get the desired results. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

deleting selected partition in kickstart
by Tony Schreiner 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I am trying kickstart for the first time, and am running into something I don't see described in the documentation. Somewhere between me and my purchasing department and Dell, my order for 6 PE 1850s was changed from "no installed OS" to WIndows. So I received the boxes with Windows pre-installed. I would like to delete the NTFS partition with Windows, but keep the Dell Utility partition on the first partition. In the documentation for kickstart, I see options for deleting linux partitions deleting all partitions but not one for deleting one or more specific partitions. Am I right about this? Thanks, Tony Schreiner Boston College

Library

Can someone tell me where I can find glibc-2.3.3 for either x86-64 or most likely i386. My yum stuff must be broken, or I don't know how to use it cause it can't find the lib. I'm looking on the CD's also, but so far, no luck. Thanks... -- Snowman

Mailing list guidelines and moderation
by Karanbir Singh 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

Hey Guys, I am looking to put together a set of guidelines for posting on the CentOS Mailing Lists. The aim being that we come up with a framework that is then enforceable by a moderator, should the need arise. Blanket user / thread moderation is something that I dont really want to enforce here - but might be a necessary evil, over a short period of time. End of the day, we are all educated sensible people - it should not be too much to expect adherence to a reasonable set of guidelines. We also need contributions from the community to help on this effort, the developers are already very stretched, and as has already been pointed out - there are going to be other people, better qualified to handle this role of moderator. If you are such a person - please get in touch with me off-list, the sooner the better. - K
