CentOS Release Lifeline
by Fred Whipple 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Hi all, The usual apologies if this has been answered; I didn't see the answer anywhere on the site or googleing the archives... Since CentOS is a RHEL rebuild (and this is brilliant!), does that imply that CentOS will continue to provide security patches and bug fixes so long as Red Hat continues to release them for a given version of RHEL? That's to say that Red Hat commits to 5 years of updates for any given version of RHEL. Will CentOS benefit for those same 5 years? I ask because Scientific Linux commits (or, plans) to support 3 years after a release. Thanks in advance! -Fred

.c0 RPM's
by randy hoffman 23 Jan '05

Probably missing something obvious here, but what determines when an RPM is built with a .c0 extension vs. not? Seems to be mostly on kernel RPM's. Thanks!

Upgrading from 3.4 to 4.0 beta X
by Michael Taylor 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Please forgive me if I missed something, but I've searched all over in hopes of finding something documented on a procedure to upgrade a Centos 3.4 system to the beta. I've got the DVD burned and am testing the process on VMWare. All I could figure out how to do was install over the existing partition without formatting, but this was quasi-disastrous so I 'reverted' my VMWare drive to the prior state. Is there some way to reconfigure yum.conf, GPG keys, etc. so that it will pull down the changes? Or, is there a way to 'upgrade' the system using the CD as a source? Any help would be appreciated. I was hoping it was as simple as the upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4, but I couldn't find anything out there. Thanks, Mike

Re: CentOS 3.4 Single CD "Server" version
by Rick Graves 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hey, Lance mentioned yum group install. This yum group capability makes the "server" CD's more versatile than the name implies -- you only need a broadband connection to get any kind of CentOS install you want. Start with a minimal install off the CD, and then use the yum group install to conveniently get the same install you could get off the 3 CD set (only more up to date). The cAos (single) install CD takes full advantage of the yum group install capability. > This single CD iso ... has also been designed for > covermount magazine use. It seems that part of the motivation for the single CD is to promote CentOS. Toward that end, it might be good to emphasize that the "server" single CD can be used to install desktop, workstation and custom CentOS systems, too. Thank you, Lance.
