[Off-Topic] GL Globe
by Always Learning 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

glglobe is available in one of the normal repos. It is a globe in colour. d = remove or restore day / night line f = grid g = grid intersections i = date, time and position display m = world cities s = infra red ? t = larger lettering of cities 0 (zero) = restore display to current time - = zoom out + = zoom in Using the mouse pointer and the 4 cursor keys the globe can be manipulated, even turned upside down - that must appeal to Australians :-) home = move backwards in time end = move forwards in time page-up = move globe to right page-down = move globe to left It is fascinating to see how, in the northern hemisphere, the sun never sets on the north pole in summer. Madrid (Spain) begins darkness before London yet London has daylight before Spain. Any more thought provoking goodies in Centos ??? Centos mentally stimulates the brain, something M$ could never achieve ! -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

disable control alt delete in gnome
by Jerry Geis 05 Aug '11

On Centos 6 - how do you disable the control-alt-delete function in GNOME? Editing /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf works for console mode but not for GNOME. Thanks, Jerry

How do I add fonts to openoffice for CentOS 6? > Thanks, > Jerry Usually, when I want to add fonts in centos(5.X or 6.0 ), I use this way: (under root permission, or use "sudo" to execute the following commands) cp /my/font /usr/share/fonts/myfont -Rf cd /usr/share/fonts/myfont/ mkfontscale mkfontdir fc-cache These works in gnome desktop for adding fonts in openoffice/libreoffice, hope this help you!

Interactive PXE install
by Kenneth Porter 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

I've got a system (Supermicro P8SCT) that lacks a floppy or CD and it's old enough that it won't boot from a USB stick. Before I scrounge an optical drive to plug in, I thought perhaps I could install over the network, as I see "legacy LAN boot" in the BIOS menu. The guides for a LAN install I've found all want to do an automated kickstart install. Are there any guides that explain how to use eg. CentOS-6.0-i386-netinstall.iso for an interactive PXE installation? I think I understand the DHCP config and I've got tftpd installed on my CentOS 5 server and see the empty /tftpboot directory. I'm guessing I need to unpack some of the files in the iso image into /tftpboot in some special layout and add some files from /usr/lib/syslinux. What's not clear is what files in the image go where in the tftpboot system, and what the menu stanza should look like in the menu file.

CentOS 6 system-config-bind missing?
by Emmett Culley 04 Aug '11

First system-config-network is not part of CentOS/RHEL 6, now I don't see system-config-bind either. Is there an alternative (GUI) way to manage the bind DNS server? Emmett

MySQL package to install on CentOS/RedHad 6.x
by Marc Deop 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

I can see Oracle has packages for RedHad 5 but not for 6... Should I install the rpm for redhad even though they are built against 5? Or should I install the generic rpm package from Oracle? anyone knows the differences? Thanks in advance Regards, Marc Deop
