XEmacs on CentOS 5
by bgschaid_lists＠ice-sf.at 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Either I'm having a case of "now you see it, now you don't" or I'm just plain stupid: When upgrading one of my 4.4-machines I discovered, that XEmacs (my text editor of choice; please no religious discussions) isn't part of the distribution anymore. OK. I progressed without it (and removed the old xemacs-packages because they were not working anymore). Then I installed the rpmforge-release and some yum-extensions (fastest mirror, protect and priority). Then I went to yumex. Looked for "emacs" … [View More]

Custom CentOS5 DVD
by Paul 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello, Does anyone have an up-to-date page describing, step by step, how to make a customized CentOS5 DVD? I noticed that CentOS5 already comes with ~240MB of updates. So for starters, I'd like to create a new DVD with all the current updates. (And I have other custom scripts I need to install on top of that). I've googled around and tried various suggestions on the net: http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/A_Kickstart_CD_for_sipX_on_CentOS http://cablemodem.fibertel.com.ar/lateral/… [View More]

Jigdoes of CentOS 4.4 and 5.0 i386/x86_64 CD/DVD available.
by Maciej Zenczykowski 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

I've gone through the trouble (after some 10 rounds I finally have something I'm happy with) and generated jigdo/template files for CentOS 5.0 iso's (CD/DVD i386/x86_64) (and CentOS 4.4 while I was at it: CD/DVD/ServerCD SRPMS/i386/x86_64). (and I started on this before the thread about creating the DVD's from the CD's started ;-) ) They are available at: http://tcs.uj.edu.pl/~buildcentos/centos-jigdo/ (I skipped the LiveCD since jigdo offers no size improvement here -- already for the … [View More]ServerCD the template file is 125 MBs because of the different .img files inside the iso) These jigdo/template files should allow you to generate any of the listed cd/dvd isos from the publically available http://mirror.centos.org mirror site (which is DNS-aliased to something close to you). Jigdo will also allow using a local source of files (ie. an existing CD, etc...) You will need to install jigdo-file and jigdo-lite. It is available: - in package jigdo from dag's repository (rpmforge) for CentOS 4 (and others) - in package jigdo-file for debian/ubuntu (just apt-get it) - from the source website (both sources, and windows binaries, and statically linked linux binaries) http://atterer.net/jigdo/ Once installed usage is (...should be...) trivial: jigdo-lite --noask http://tcs.uj.edu.pl/~buildcentos/centos-jigdo/%.jigdo which will generate the requested (replace the % with what you want, see the http://tcs.uj.edu.pl/~buildcentos/centos-jigdo/ listing) iso file in the directory in which you run it. [If you have a local source of files you can skip the --noask and provide it when asked] Next step: get this included on the centos mirrors ;-) [hint hint] Afterwards: it would be nice to drop the iso files from the mirrors in their entirety and generate them on-the-fly using the JTE extensions package. Should be significant space-savings. [requires perl cgi in the hosting webserver, but should be very safe since it's all read-only access] Even later: it would be awesome if we could generate the jigdo/template during mkisofs (requires using a patched mkisofs). This would skip the slightly painful jigdo generation step (painful - because I have to download a local mirror of both the files and the CD/DVD images, much less painful to do it directly on the centos source/build system/mirrors) Both later steps are 95% there (the JTE jigit website/extensions/mkisofs patches/etc) and mostly require putting together rpms for EL4/5. (I'm going to be trying to put together a mkisofs-jte rpm which doesn't override the normal mkisofs rpm, but instead provides two files - /usr/bin/mkisofs-jte and it's manpage) This should also allow more customized images (like the rolled up updates) without increasing mirror space usage. Jigdo (combined with hardlinking identical files, which I believe is already done) should enable drastic reductions in centos HDD footprint. Comments? Cheers, Maciej Zenczykowski [View Less]

printconf
by Mark Snyder 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Does anyone know of a command line tool for printer configuration for CentOS 5. I have used "printconf-tui --Xexport > printers.xml" to copy my printer setup in CentOS 4.x (then Ximport to bring it back), but this no longer works in CentOS 5 and I would really like to retain this functionality. Can I re-install this tool or will it not work with the new CUPS? Is there an alternative? Do I have to re-configure all my printers by hand and discard my printers.xml files? Any help will be … [View More]

CentOS 5 upgrade from 4.4 fails. Cannot mount /dev/md1 root partition
by B.J. McClure 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Have completed two clean installs of CentOS 5 with no issues (other than permissions on ~/.ssh directory. One 32 bit system, one 64 bit. When I tried an upgrade from 4.4 on 64 bit system with two SATA drives in Raid 1 configuration, anaconda could not mount the root partition /dev/md1. The error message suggested it was because the partition was not formated which is obviously not correct. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance. B.J.
