RHEL Un question
by Collins Richey 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Please excuse my ignorance, since I have not used any RedHat (enterprise or otherwise) until Fedora FC3 (a few weeks) and now CentOS4 (permanently). I keep finding references to Un (I believe it's up to U5 now) in references to bugfixes, etc for RHEL. I presume (?) these are dot releases after the initial release? Is there anything equivalent for CentOS, or is this RedHat only behavior?

If more people would thank you for the fantastic job you do (or, gasp, volunteer to help out) instead of constantly bitching that the world is not perfect, it would be a better world. I don't know about the person who started this thread, but the delete button on my email client works quite well and I could make the effort to set a rule to gather all the announcements into one folder. I'm quite happy to see the announcements. Keep up the good work (Johny and others).

editing gnome menu
by Ryan 30 Mar '05

Is there any easy way to edit the gnome menu under CentOS 4? The same versions of gnome under different distros allow easy (to different degrees) of menu editing.

Welcome to the New CentOS Mailing List
by lance＠uklinux.net 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

As you will know from recent posts, CentOS is separating from cAos to become an independent project. As part of that change we are implementing new mailing lists. This new mailing list is now known as centos(a)centos.org and you have been subscribed to it if you were subscribed to centos(a)caosity.org. Due to the large number of people subscribed it has not been possible to retain options etc across to the new list, so if you only want to receive digests or need to change any other options then you will need to login to change them. You can find out the password assigned to you by having it emailled to you from :- http://lists.centos.org/mailman/options/centos The archive of posts has been transferred across to the new list manager.

yum stalls <?>
by Mike Kercher 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

I just installed a fresh 3.3 system (because those are the ISO's I had on hand). Upon running yum update, it starts to download headers and then stalls. I hit Ctl-C and it continues to download about 4-5 more headers and stalls. I hit Ctl-C again and it pulls a few more headers. Anyone seen this and/or know how to fix it? TIA Mike

Kernel Question
by Chris Bryant 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

OK- A dumb question. Will a "generic"(kernel.org) kernel work with Centos 4? My reason for asking- I'm needing to upgrade from RH9, and would rather go ahead and go with 4 for the 2.6 kernel, but I need a patched kernel (Win4Lin), and I'm not sure they will offer a prepatched version (though they probably will for EL4). Thanks! -- Chris Bryant

CentOS 4 dual boot
by Chris Bryant 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

Another quick question- In reading the "official" release notes for EL4, I ran across this- > Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 support for SELinux uses Extended > Attributes on ext2/ext3 file systems. This means that, when a file is > written to a default-mounted ext2/ext3 file system, an extended > attribute will also be written. > > This will cause problems on systems that dual boot between Red Hat > Enterprise Linux 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. The Red Hat > Enterprise Linux 2.1 kernels do not support extended attributes, and > can crash when encountering them. Anyone run in to this problem? It kind of quashes my hopes of keeping a running RH9 system sharing the /home directory with Centos 4- but what the heck. -- Chris Bryant
