going from 4 to 6 serial ports
by Mike Kinton 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

I am using 32bit base kernel and want to increase the number of serial ports from 4 to 6. The hardware is a touch screen epos system and it uses com ports 5 and 6 for dedicated devices. I think that I may need a customer kernel. Are there any instructions on how to do this or other ways of solving my problem? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Mike Kinton

I redid it, and made sure that the partition was a multiple of 512Mb. This left 192Mb unused. The partition was successfully created and the install is on the way.

CentOS roadmap/EPEL
by admin 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

There are lots of exciting things happening in the CentOS ecosystem at the moment, by which I mean "upstream" or "across stream" in Fedora and RHEL. I'm thinking of projects that equip RH-like EL in general for serious entry into the enterprise, things like the Fedora Directory Server, and RedHat's Emerging Technologies projects such as Cobbler, FreeIPA and Ovirt. Also JBoss middleware. Will these sort of packages end up in CentOS eventually, or are there any major problems installing EPEL packages on CentOS? I know CentOS is very popular in the web hosting world, but enterprise grade directory servers, provisioning servers and virtualisation technologies could also see greater take up of CentOS in areas like local government and education for example (medium sized but slightly cash-challenged organisations). I suppose this is some kind of roadmap question, or a question about using EPEL packages on CentOS. Personally, I'm interested in using these "emerging technologies" in the local government environment.

Lots of Centos 5.2 updates already
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

I just completed my first 5.2 install. For 'completeness' I 'tested out' yum update. Guess what? For this minimum install, there were 43Mb of updates to download. So I went over to my local repo server and setup a /centos/5.2/updates directory and started the rsync to get all the updates: 155 files taking up 943Mb. Already. Wow! Perhaps something to do with the initial build problem? But anyone that does an install from the CDs/DVD and includes OpenOffice, then turns around and updates, is in for a scary supprise. Yet another reason for the local repos....

To upgrade or not
by Michael A. Peters 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

My laptop is a Thinkpad T20 running CentOS 5.1 The reason it is running CentOS at all is because Fedora Core 6 was workable on it, but Fedora 8 was a complete dog. Anyway - with all the new desktop stuff in CentOS 5.2 I'm wondering if I would be happier just leaving it at 5.1 rather than letting it update to 5.2. Will 5.1 continue to get security fixes if I leave it at 5.1 or do I need to update to 5.2 to get the patches? I'm planning to replace it at some point, just haven't seen T40s on eBay drop to my price range yet.
