It depends on how Vim recognizes the file. If Vim displays the file as a DOS file, it will hide the ^M and you can't search for it. If Vim displays the file as a unix file, it will show the ^M at the end of the line and you can search and replace it with the command shown above. -- Bowie

Checking out yum localinstall before installing
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I want to just see what will happen (ie success, or some dependencies still cannot be met) with: yum localinstall whatever.rpm I ASSuME (I have googled for this, but it is not clear) that localinstall will take the rpm, install it, and go to the yum repro to meet any outstanding dependencies. I just want to test this right now, not actually do it. I want to know what yum would install from the repro as well.

Discrepancies in Anaconda-ks.cfg after kickstart
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I am asking this here, that although a kickstart question, may have something to do with the Centos install? I took my Anaconda-ks.cfg from my system, turned it into a ks.cfg and did the install. Everything SEEMS ok, but why? First the partitioning information: ks.cfg supplied: clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --start=14 --end=796 --ondisk=hda part pv.34 --start=797 --end=2303 --ondisk=hda part swap --start=2304 --end=2434 --ondisk=hda volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.34 logvol /var/opt/scalix --fstype ext3 --name=Scalix --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=8192 anaconda-ks.cfg reports: clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --start=14 --end=796 --ondisk=hda part pv.100000 --start=797 --end=2303 --ondisk=hda part swap --start=2304 --end=2434 --ondisk=hda volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.100000 logvol /var/opt/scalix --fstype ext3 --name=Scalix --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=8192 what is happening here? Just putting the partitions in different locations, but the same size? Or just reporting differently? Now for packages. ks.cfg %packages @ office @ admin-tools @ editors @ emacs @ system-tools @ text-internet @ dns-server @ gnome-desktop @ dialup @ network-server @ smb-server @ base-x @ web-server @ printing @ kde-desktop @ mail-server @ server-cfg @ development-tools @ graphical-internet system-config-samba system-config-httpd kernel mailman grub kernel-devel system-config-printer -openoffice.org ethereal-gnome -planner openldap-servers krb5-server iptraf -openoffice.org-libs gftp lvm2 freeradius -spamassassin gnome-nettool system-config-printer-gui -sendmail-cf vnc nmap-frontend e2fsprogs -dovecot -openoffice.org-i18n thunderbird and anaconda-ks-cfg: %packages @ office @ admin-tools @ editors @ emacs @ system-tools @ text-internet @ dns-server @ gnome-desktop @ dialup @ network-server @ emacs @ smb-server @ base-x @ web-server @ printing @ kde-desktop @ mail-server @ server-cfg @ development-tools @ graphical-internet kernel grub kernel-devel -openoffice.org -planner -openoffice.org-libs lvm2 -sendmail-cf e2fsprogs -dovecot -openoffice.org-i18n Wow! is the installed list shorter than the 'asked' list. Or is it, perhaps the same way to report the same actions? How would I know?

I thought it took their presence as the hint to > display in DOS mode. A screwed-up text file that doesn't have the ^M's on every line will display this way in Vim. This tends to happen when you transfer a DOS file to unix and then edit it with a program that does not do the conversion for you. The resultant file has ^M at the end of every line except ones you added with the unix editor. -- Bowie

Updates on Centos 4
by Dexter Stowers 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi, I have a server that has been running Centos for about a year but I have not checked to see if there have been any changes to update. Has there been any updates or fixes for the update? I have not been in the loop for a while now. Thanks! -- Dexter Desire is the ingredient that changes the hot water of mediocrity to the steam of outstanding success.

Yum download only
by Erick Perez 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi, using centos 4.2 I am trying to build a script to install Open Exchange Open Source. I did a minimal install and now I want to "download only" the programs needed as well a resolve-and-download the dependencies needed, all into a directory so I can install later. Using yum I cant find a "download only" option. Am I missing something? -- ------------------------------------------- Erick Perez Linux User 376588 http://counter.li.org/ (Get counted!!!)
