yum groupinstall "Development Tools" overkill
by Niki Kovacs 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi, The subject says it all. I'm currently fiddling with CentOS to become comfortable with it. Starting from a minimal system (everything unchecked during install), I wanted to have a reasonable set of build tools. Roughly the equivalent of Debian's 'apt-get install build-essential'. I tried yum groupinstall "Development Tools", which resulted in a total of 108 MB of packages... including the whole load of GNOME libs. Gasp! Is there any comprehensive list (in some forum or some WiKi) for everything necessary to build apps from source and/or build source RPMS? Cheers, Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

what would you get from buying from redhat that you will not get if you download it from centos?

solved cups error 426 was cups error 426 when accessing admin functions
by Dave 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi, Found a howto doc on my error 426 issue with cups. The fix was to disable encryption in cups 1.2.4 add DefaultEncryption Never to cupsd.conf and that did it. I'd like to have encryption on the admin area, but for home use i'll take it. On another subject does anyone know if the Cups book is available as a pdf file? Thanks. Dave.

If maximum Reliability is the goal, look at the MTBF in the specifications. If the Design Engineers have done their job, and the Manufacturing Engineers maintain high Quality Control, the result should be a quality component.

Valuable data should always be stored off site, in removable drives, or via the WAN. Lanny

Introduction
by Niki Kovacs 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hi, I'm a 40-year old sysadmin living in Montpezat, a small village in the sunny south of France. I'm a Linux user since 2001, when I made my first steps on a 486 with a Slackware 7.1 CD. I've tried maybe two dozen distributions, but I've stayed mostly with Slackware and Debian. Since last summer, I work as a sysadmin for our "Communauté de Communes", a group of 16 villages, where I care for computers and installs of town halls and public libraries. I've configured a LAMP server in a datacenter, running Debian Sarge, and all clients in town halls and libraries are running Debian Etch, a highly stripped-down and personalized GNOME desktop with just a handful of apps needed for work. I've fiddled with CentOS before, around when 4.3 came out, and it was a close second in the choice of OS here. Had 5.0 been out at the time, I would gladly have chosen it. I've discussed the subject with Daniel de Kok, a fellow ex-Slacker and friend, and he's told me so many good things about the latest release of CentOS that I'm now seriously considering replacing my Debian installs with CentOS. I have an armada of PCs that i can fiddle with, and I've currently installed two different versions of CentOS, one as minimal as I could, one with a default GNOME desktop. On my personal laptop I have the Red Hat Deployment Guide, as well as some more CentOS-specific docs. I have a list of 40 or so items that I will have to take care of in the following days or weeks, maybe months: "minimal install?", "yum?", "configure wireless rt2500, rt61, ipw3945?", "find extra repos for multimedia stuff?", etcetera. I just went to take a peek at IRC, and "Arrfab" told me the main communication channel for CentOS was this mailing list. Cheers from France, Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

GRUB and vga=788
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hi, On a minimal (e. g. without X) server install, one of the first things I do is add 'vga=788' to the 'kernel' line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, so I can use the framebuffer in 800x600 mode and have a better readability in console mode. However, I tried this on my minimal CentOS 5 install, and right after GRUB, the screen just blanks. I add that this (test) machine ran maybe a dozen other distros before, and the 'vga=788' line always did the trick. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.
