Server cd
by Mace Eliason 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Hi, I have just installed the server cd 4.2 and was wondering what I would need to install to add xcfe4? I wanted to install a light weight desktop for playing around with. Do I have to install x11 and what packages would I install. I have added xcfe4 to Centos 4.2 after I had installed gnome and such. But not sure about with the server cd. Thanks

Ports require to do yum update?
by James Pifer 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

I have a couple CentOS boxes running in our DMZ and although they are running behind a firewall, I'm also running iptables. One thing I cannot do it yum update. What ports are required for this? I have outbound http open and I can browse to sites using firefox. If I run an ethereal scan the process seems to stop with DNS queries, but I can resolve mirrorlist.centos.org without a problem. Anyone know what the problem could be? If I stop iptables everything works of course. Thanks, James

CentOS 4.3 for ppc32
by Barry Brimer 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

A while back, there was mention that the release of CentOS 4.3 would bring a ppc32 version. Is this still in the works? If so, is it scheduled to be released at the same time as the more popular releases, or at a later time? Thanks, Barry

That's a good question... I'm using yum with dag's repository added. I could have sworn that it had an old version when I tried it earlier, but now I see 0.88. Ah well. BTW... Why are the db files packaged separately? I would think it would cause confusion if both freshclam and yum are updating the db files. > I should point out that dag's pkgs at rpmforge.net are packages > slightly differently from the ones at centos.karan.org - so whichever > repo you decide to use, stick with that one for clamav ( ref: yum's > includepkg etc for that .repo file ) Interesting. I had not looked at your repo. Your repo does have at least one extra RPM that I was looking for (perl-Mail-SPF-Query), but yum says it's missing a dependency. Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::CIDR::Lite) >= 0.15 is needed by package perl-Mail-SPF-Query Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Net::CIDR::Lite) is needed by package perl-Mail-SPF-Query This doesn't seem to be in any of the repositories. I found perl-Net-CIDR, but that doesn't satisfy the dependency. -- Bowie

Yum updates vs current packages
by Bowie Bailey 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Sorry if the subject is a bit vague. I wasn't sure how to summarize this. I am building a new server (CentOS4.2) and I am trying to stay with RPM installs as much as possible. The problem is with packages that I would like to keep more up to date than allowed by the repositories. This will be a mailserver doing spam and virus checking. As such, I want SpamAssassin and ClamAV to be as up-to-date as possible. The current rpm for ClamAV is 6 months and 3 releases behind. What is the best way to keep these packages up to date while avoiding dependency issues in yum? -- Bowie

Anyone running VMWARE server on CentOS?
by WipeOut 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Hi, I guess the subject says it all.. I am thinking about combining a few servers onto a single server since they mostly do nothing much at all which would mean there would be less load on the UPS and a lot less noise in my office.. Since VMWare server is now free its probably the perfect time to do it.. The only issue is getting the VMWare up and running.. I would prefer to run it on CentOS as the host OS but if it means recompiling half the system and not being able to use standard updates then it will probably just be a pain.. Has anyone set this up on CentOS yet and if so what did you have to do to get it running? Thanks

Centos on a Thumb drive
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Here are 2 different 4Gb USB drives. Flash memory: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail~dpno~339754.asp $143 Mini Drive: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail~dpno~306189.asp $80 How does one load Centos on these? Can you boot from CD, point to an FTP server for OS, and install on the USB drive, eventhough the system has its own harddrive? Does the install have to be for a specific system? Of course right now, I only have one USB bootable laptop. Oh, and ecost is one of the best places to get things like SD memory. Watch their budget countdown...
