wireless card on amd64
by Jerry Geis 15 May '06

15 May '06

All, Over the weekend I purchased a linksys wireless-g PCI card for use in my amd64 box. I downloaded ndiswrapper, compiled, installed, tried to load the driver off the CDROM and it was a no-go. I have do this on another box with an amd sempron. Difference being 32 bit versus 64 bit... Seems there are no 64 bit drivers for the wireless card. Anyone have a wireless card working on a 64 bit machine? What was the card and driver? Thanks, Jerry

PDF viewer?
by Niki Kovacs 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi, I'm looking for a usable PDF viewer with CentOS 4.3. On my previous install (Slack running XFCE with a handful of GNOME libs), I used Evince, which is just great. Looks like this is an Achilles' heel in CentOS, as I tested three available PDF viewers (ggv, gsview, acroread) with various PDF documents downloaded from the internet (which all display perfectly with Evince): either the result is just ugly, like Lego for the very young. Or the document can't be opened at all and produces an error. Which is annoying, as I have to install this in a production environment in about two weeks. Any suggestions? Niki Kovacs

NFS versus ISCSI
by Bruno Sousa 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hello ! I was wondering if anyone has done any kind of benchmarks regarding having a NFS export or using ISCSI. If not, is there any idea in how to do those benchmarks. In my case I will us NFS or ISCSI to export some space to run a mysql server, oracle 10g and ordinary file share. At this point I have 3 iscsi "servers" and 3 isci clients, each one running one service. All the servers are connect at 1Gbps. Best regards, Bruno Sousa

Firefox 1.5.0.3 in CentOSPlus?
by Mike Stankovic 14 May '06

14 May '06

Seeing Fedora have released 1.5.0.3 for fc5 isn't it time for CentOS to rebuild 1.5.0.3 for CentOSPlus or does the current rpm have the patches? I recall last times goof in FC5 firefox appearing in the CentOS one so I assume that CentOSPlus needs to rebuild the FC5 one again. __________________________________________________ Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the FAQ/etiquette.

Thin client server setup
by Mace Eliason 14 May '06

14 May '06

Hi, I am thinking of settting up a thin client server setup. I would like to set it up to work with linux and windows. I was going to use Symbiont but it says it needs a different version of linux to install. Has anyone used it with Centos before? Would it be easier to just install LTSP and set it up. I would like to b have a small box that does the dhcp and then allows users to logon to windows or linux terminal servers. Thanks for any suggestions. Mace

Serverworks HT1000 chipset drivers (Supermicro H8SSL motherboard)
by Chris Mauritz 14 May '06

14 May '06

Anyone using boards with this chipset? I've gotten some dual core single cpu boxes along with the physical dual cpu boxes I just received and they're using the Serverworks HT1000 (Broadcom 5785) chipset. My CentOS 4.2 DVD doesn't want to recognize the chipset so I can't see any of the SATA drives in the integrated SATA ports. Drives on 3Ware cards work as expected, but I was hoping to also make use of the integrated SATA ports. I'm downloading 4.3 via bitorrent now, but I suspect that isn't going to solve the problem without some command line magic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,

Changing Console Display Settings
by John Hinton 13 May '06

13 May '06

Hmm.. after all these years I actually have a monitor on my desk beside me going through a couple of KVMs to our racks. So, I hope to make more use of direct console connections instead of shelling in. But, now.... the text has always been huge and the interface clunky. And after a bit of googling around, and file searching on the system, I can't seem to find where or if there is a way to change the default console display settings. I sure would be nice to go to a higher resolution so to speak. Can anybody point me in the right direction on where to look? Note, these systems are all server installs.. no stinkin' GUIs. ;) Thanks, John Hinton

Hi! I was wondering if the acroread from your site is somehow stripped of web browser support (dag for RHEL4/CentOS4.3)? Can't seem to find the howto or other files anywhere... Cheers, MaZe.
