how to convert 7 cd iso images into one dvd image?
by Andre Robatino 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

> how to convert 7 cd iso images into one dvd image? Cat the CD ISOs together (order doesn't matter) into a single big file with the same name as the corresponding DVD (same version and arch), then run rsync on it to convert into the actual DVD (using a mirror that has both rsync and the desired DVD). The same trick works in reverse: for each CD, make a copy of the DVD with the same name as the CD, then run rsync on it to convert it into the actual CD. In either direction, the download necessary shouldn't be more than a few percent of full size.

keychain problem(with config file)
by bluethundr 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Sorry meant to attach my sshd_config file.. here it is! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: bluethundr <bluethundr(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 11:22 AM Subject: keychain problem To: CentOS mailing list <centos(a)centos.org> hello centos.. I am having a very annoying problem on my network right now. it looks like every time I try to add my ssh key to keychain I have to issue a command just to get my ssh subsystem communicating with the ssh-agent: I have this line in my .bashrc file $(keychain --eval --quick --quiet private_key1 private_key2 private_key3) If I try to perform ssh-add I get the message: [bluethundr@VIRTCENT01:~]#ssh-add Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. So then I try to execute ssh-agent: bluethundr@amanda:~]#exec ssh-agent bash * Warning: can't find private_key1; skipping * Warning: can't find private_key2; skipping * Warning: can't find private_key3; skipping bash: SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-cdJlgq6077/agent.6077;: No such file or directory Then I can add it. [bluethundr@amanda:~]#ssh-add Enter passphrase for /home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa: Identity added: /home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa (/home/bluethundr/.ssh/id_rsa) But if I ssh away from this box and then ssh back INTO it.. and then sometime later have to ssh away again it asks me for my ssh key's passphrase. See what I mean by 'annoying problem'? Thanks in advance for your help! -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F186197B -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys F186197B

Installation question
by Parshwa Murdia 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi, I am new in the world of CentOS and Linux. I am not a computer professional but want to do work in Linux, for which I am trying to learn the Linux basics. Having a PC at home and somebody told me CentOS is a great Linux distro for stability. I am having some basic queries which are as follows: 1. I am having the PC and already installed is Fedora Core 11 as well as Windows XP (dual boot). Fedora has unstability because of its EOL. If I want to install the Cent OS for home PC (personal), should the installation CD (after getting it burned) would prompt me to replace the existing Linux (i.e. Fedora) or would it try to install into the whole of the memory? My requirement is to only replace the existing Fedora Core 11 but to make the Windows remain intact. 2. Though I am new in Linux, and even Fedora commands I don't know much but majority of the commands in Cent OS and Fedora are same? 3. What Cent OS should I download and install? I mean for a single PC at home, can I install the server CentOS or simple CentOS? I hope that Cent OS would be good to use at home. -- Regards, Parshwa Murdia

Re: [CentOS] input/output error while copy

I always mount the hard disk in read write by the command "ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/harddisk umask=0". cut, copy, paste works fine when I perform these operations by mouse.

by Timothy Kesten 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi Folks, I've fresh installed CentOS 5.5 and realized, that Samba is in version 3.0.33-3. Is it possible to conect WIN7 in a Samba-Domäne with this version? And I've read abaut RHEL 5.6 with samba 3.5.4. Can I expect, that this version is included in CentOS 5.6? And can I get this version with yum-update? Thx Timothy

CentOS 5.5/5.6 on Sandy Bridge
by Kenni Lund 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

Hi list Has anyone tried to install CentOS 5.5 on a system with one of the new Sandy Bridge processors with integrated GPU? I can live with bad X11 performance - I'm happy as long as I get a X11 desktop (with VESA or whatever) with no crashes :) I'll mostly use this system as a KVM host with a VNC server, but I'll like to be able to hook a screen to it. CentOS 5.6/6.0 will undoubtly improve the situation in case there're issues with 5.5, I'm just curious if it will work atm. with the current CentOS 5.5 + a default Gnome environment. Thanks, Kenni

I figured it out, i submitted as a bug. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4704 >>> Scott Robbins 01/14/11 12:58 PM >>> On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 12:37:04PM -0500, Lisandro Grullon wrote: > Dear Group, > > > This is the definition I am using for the forward zone under /var/named/internal.micro.com > > $TTL 24h; > > @ IN SOA plato.internal.micro.com lgrullon.internal.micro.com( > 2011011401 ; Serial > 108000 ; Refresh > 3600 ; Retry > 604800 ; Expire > 86400 ; Minimum > ) > > internal.micro.com.

Re: [CentOS] RHCE question

Agree 150%. >>> Bowie Bailey 01/14/11 9:43 AM >>> On 1/14/2011 9:27 AM, mahmoud mansy wrote: > guys i am preparing muself to take the RHCE self study way and i wanna > know what is the best OS (fedora 14 or centos 5.5) and in the same > time i wanna it to be a general usage OS Since the RHCE exam is based on RHEL, that would be the best OS to work with. If you don't want to shell out the money for RHEL, then CentOS 5 would be the next choice. -- Bowie _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
