No. You just need a high-speed internet connection. Microsoft provides official ISO downloads. Check the url below for windos7. The same forum I believe provides links to all the other Windows versions as well. http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.… -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

centos-7 reinstall
by James B. Byrne 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

I have a test system that I am using to investigate CentOS-7. I note the following difficulty when booting from the Minimal Install DVD. Neither on the initial install nor on subsequent attempts at re-installing CentOS-7 can I set the IPv4 interface to a static IP address. I can configure it but I cannot save the changes. The save button remains greyed out. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

SELinux Alert Browser - Report Bug?
by Les Mikesell 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

When the ocsinventory-agent (from epel) runs daily to report the host hardware and software to the central server, it triggers an selinux alert about monitor-get-edid-using-vbe mmaping low memory. This is reported in the GUI SELinux Alert Browser which displays a reasonable-looking bug report. But, when I hit the 'submit report' button, it just says that Red Hat Customer Support is not properly configured. That seems wrong on a couple of levels for a CentOS 7 system where the bug is triggered by an EPEL package. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Excluding block device from mdadm scan at boot
by Emmanuel Noobadmin 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Using Centos 6, how to I prevent mdadm from assembling arrays from specific block devices at boot? Background: Due to an accident, one of my servers went down and on reboot, got stuck first at NFS statd, then at automount after I disable NFS in single user mode. Only after disabling autofs was the server able to complete booting into runlevel 3. On investigation, it seems that mdadm added two new raid devices md126 and md127 assembled into read-only in degraded raid 1 mode from two unknown device dm-20 and dm-8. My guess is that automount was trying to mount these devices which caused the boot process to fail. After doing some googling, I found the lsblk command and was able to identify dm-20 and dm-8 to be RAID devices created from two lvm logical volumes. These were added to virtual guests as raid devices using whole drives instead of partitioned raid. Unfortunately, I had been unable to find out if it was possible to tell mdadm not to include these drives, the mdadm.conf manpage doesn't appear to list any such option. Is there some way to achieve this or is permanently disabling autofs my only option?

which firefox tab is eating my CPU?
by Michael Hennebry 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

According to top, plugin-containe is eating more than 120% of my CPU? I expect that that is allowed because I have a dual core CPU. Firefox is sloooooooowwwww. I expect that plugin-containe... is running in a firefox tab. How do I non-destructively discover which one? I'm running CentOS 6 and firefox 24.8.0 . I haven't updated firefox in a while because I've read that doing so will cause me to lose all my tabs. I'd like to keep them for a while. There is rather a lot of them Is there a way to tell firefox not to run a plugin unless its tab is currently selected? -- Michael hennebry(a)web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.

CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL Source code ... we don't release bugfixes of things released by RHEL unless we (CentOS team) somehow introduced the broken code with branding updates. Remember, CentOS is supposed to be bug for bug compatible with the upstream products and if we want things fixed they need to come down from upstream. Also, the evolution in CentOS-7 is 3.8.5-22.el7_0.1 ... not evolution 3.10.x. That means that the patch from Fedora 20 will likely not apply as is. If you are sure that it is the same issue then we can open a Red Hat bug and hopefully they will roll in the patch. Thanks, Johnny Hughes Stan Cruise reply: Hi Johnny, Many thanks for your reply, and thanks for your description of the streaming approach. I was conceptually aware of this, but I do not know the process to follow. My own use tests produce exactly the errors described in the bug report, although without real debugging it is hard to say it is the exact same root cause. Would I need to submit a specific issue report with log files to initiate a Centos/RH process? (I have not done this before, but I do have a software development background, and know that one has to put in the effort, so I am willing to learn this and hopefully help the community).

Dear All, since upgrading from 6.5 to 6.6 I get the following error message when trying to start a VM in virt-manager: Error starting domain: unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules. Qemu-kvm package is installed, kvm module is loaded and virtualization is activated in BIOS. Does anyone happen to know what the issue is? -- Gruß, Christian
