Does the nvidia drivers (downloaded from nvidia) support or work with the new centos 5 (beta) ? The version of X windows is different I think. Jerry

netconfig in 4.92
by Jerry Geis 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

After installing 4.92 I wanted to run netconfig. It was not availble. I did "yum install netconfig" and got the package. What should I have selected in the "custom packages" at install time to get netconfig? Thanks, Jerry

Remtoe Install/Anaconda
by Matt Martz 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

I have started playing around with remote installs using vnc and kickstart files. However I cannot seem to find a good listing of anaconda parameters. And where I am running into problems is with the display. Say that I am using a kickstart file and I don't want it to establish a vnc connection or to show progress on the console what can I provide to anaconda to do this? When I add text to the kernel line then it goes into an attended install and doesn't read from the kickstart file. If I sepecify nothing for the display it prompts at the console what display to use. And I can specify vnc but I don't always want to watch the automated install. Any suggestions? -- Matt Martz CentOS Mirror Admin mdmartz(a)gflug.net

Hi, Does CentOS 5 / RH 5 ship with a similar windows active directory and able to support windows workstations? I've of heard OpenLDAP and FDS. Does windows support those? regards

seamonkey on Centos 2.1 deletes itself!

Well, partly: I've been "converting" a RHL 7.3 system to approximately Centos 2.1, so found it necessary to "rpm -Va" I was more than a little surprised at this: [root@magpie root]# rpm -V seamonkey missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/skin missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/skin/stylesheets.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/communicator missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/communicator/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/communicator/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/cookie missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/cookie/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/cookie/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/editor missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/editor/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/editor/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/skin missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/skin/stylesheets.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator/content/overlays.rdf etc Reinstalling the packages did no good: [root@magpie root]# rpm -q --scripts seamonkey postinstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): # run ldconfig before regxpcom /sbin/ldconfig >/dev/null 2>/dev/null if [ -f /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl ]; then /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl fi preuninstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): # is a final removal? if [ "$1" == "0" ]; then /bin/rm -rf /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo /bin/rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/*.rdf fi postuninstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): /sbin/ldconfig >/dev/null 2>/dev/null # was this an upgrade? if [ "$1" == "2" ]; then if [ -f /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl ]; then /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl fi fi [root@magpie root]# hm.
