weird install issue
by Joe Pruett 03 May '06

03 May '06

this existed in 4.2 and i hoped it would magically fix itself in 4.3, but no such luck. if you do a custom install and select the everything package (i'm lazy and don't care if i burn disk space :-), when it gets to cd 4, it will suddenly need disk 1 again to install the comps package and then go back to 4 for the rest of the install. it seems like the comps package would have been installed very early on in the process, so this seems very odd. i can look at the install log if that would do someone some good.

installing WIndows at end of disk
by Tony Schreiner 03 May '06

03 May '06

I have a functional CentOS system on which I need to install Windows for dual boot. I can make some space available on a high partition. Can WIndows be installed on partition 8 (starting with 1)? I have always done it on the first partition. Thanks, Tony Schreiner Boston College

Centos Test repository
by James B. Byrne 03 May '06

03 May '06

I would like to express my appreciation to the maintainers of the CentOS distribution for the degree of thoroughness evidenced in the set up of the test repository at http://dev.centos.org. I was casting around for how to configure my yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to handle a few packages that I must obtain from the test area (firefox, which seems to have moved since yesterday, and postgresql). I expected that at some point I would have to ask for help here on the list, but no, it turns out that my need was foreseen and provided for at: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4.2/CentOS-Testing.repo. Which, after suitably modifying with the addtion of an "includepkgs=" directive works beautifully. So instead of asking for help I am writing to thank you all. Regards, Jim P.S. Any hope of an OpenOffice.org v2 release in testing? JBB -- *** e-mail is NOT a secure channel *** James B.

Can't Configure USB ADSL Router
by Mark Sargent 03 May '06

03 May '06

Hi All, I'm trying to get my Mother's ADSL USB Router to work on CentOS 4-3. I see the device in Hardware Browser/System devices but nowhere in Network Configuration is it an option. I even tried New/xDSL but it doesn't appear as an option there either. Any suggestions for this? Cheers. Mark Sargent.

Just want to say thanks for the responses, guys.

RE: [CentOS] Suggestions on initial CentOS 4.3 Install packages

My apologies with the HTML encoding on the original post...I'll try not to do that again. ________________________________ From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Phillips, Tod Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 3:05 PM To: centos(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS] Suggestions on initial CentOS 4.3 Install packages Hello, all... I'm attempting to learn Linux (on a CentOS setup) by doing something productive at the same time. I've already installed it twice...once with a "full, just install everything" setup and another by following the Perfect CentOS 4.3 Web Server Setup instructions on HowToForge.com. Though I've had issues with both, I have a lot of patience and time is not a big concern. What I'd like to do is get some advice from the community on a good initial setup for my system by listing out some of the things I hope to do: 1) Set up a test Web Server for development of a soon-to-be-deployed rework of a client's website (I'll host the production site w/ an outside company). 2) I'd like to learn PHP and Apache while I'm reworking the site. 3) Learn all there is to know (ok, maybe just enough to not be dangerous) about securing the server. 4) Develop a program, most likely in C/C++, that can talk with my Company's mainframe and its communications software, either through web services/xml interfaces or directly through some sort of COM / .NET equivalent. The end result would be an application that can run on any Linux box with an Internet connection, giving users the ability to access and modify mainframe data, enter orders, etc. 5) Be able to retrieve email, surf the net, write and read documents (general office stuff) to become both more familiar with Linux apps AND to keep from needing to run to a different PC for these needs when they arise. I know I'll need the X Windows and Gnome stuff, but I'm concerned about dependencies and/or conflicts between the packages necessary for everything I want to do. I certainly want to use the Terminal prompts whenever possible -- particularly for setting up the networking and Apache server -- so that I can begin to learn Linux/Unix. The question really becomes: Can I do it all on one box or am I going to create a nightmare for myself because of overlapping programs that "hijack" critical functions from the web server, or vice-versa? I erased my original install (with everything) because it seemed more important to me to learn what it was I needed and install it manually later on if and when the need arose. Good thinking or...? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated, grayfire1229(a)netscape.net
