i need your feedback about this command, it should find a string in multiple html files in a directory and replace it with a different string... find /dir -name "*.html" -exec sed -i 's/"old"/"new"/g' {} \; Thx.

"core" installs of 5.2 missing crucial packages like yum, selinux-policy-targeted, vim-minimal, etc.
by Johnny Tan 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I had a 5.0 kickstart server which did "core" installs of CentOS (i.e.: "%packages --nobase"). I recently setup a 5.2 kickstart server. Using the same kickstart configs, I notice a few packages are always missing, notably: yum (!!), selinux-policy-targeted (even though I have "selinux --enforcing" in the kickstart, it always ends up with that package missing and selinux disabled), vim-minimal, etc. Looking at comps.xml for 5.2 os tree, it shows all of these packages in the "core" group, just like 5.0 does. So it's not that the "core" group has changed. Looking at the Release Notes for 5.2, I see this entry: "Kickstart scripts that worked for 5.0 and/or 5.1 may have issues on CentOS 5.2 installation trees. So first test your kickstart scripts with CentOS 5.2 before using them in production." I'm guessing this has something to do with my problem, but there's no further details. Does anyone have any insight into the above Release Notes entry, and/or my problem in general? p.s. I setup a 2nd kickstart server in a completely different environment, and am still seeing the same issue. I'm about to try a CD-based install of 5.2 and see if that also has the issue. johnn

how to get rid of "kerberos"
by Marcelo M. Garcia 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi How to get rid of kerberos, or at least to prevent to go into path? Where is defined the path for users? I need to configure and use rtools (I know that I should use ssh, but I need rtools) and I think very annoying the messages from Kerberized rsh or rlogin, like this: -sh-3.2$ rsh kitten02 connect to address 192.168.89.2 port 543: Connection refused Trying krb4 rlogin... connect to address 192.168.89.2 port 543: Connection refused trying normal rlogin (/usr/bin/rlogin) Last login: Tue Jun 3 20:17:32 from kitten01 -sh-3.2$ But if kerberos is not in path, everything works fine: -sh-3.2$ rsh kitten02 Last login: Tue Jun 3 20:13:13 from kitten01 -sh-3.2$ Thanks Marcelo

Minimal CentOS
by Puneet Goel 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi! and a warm hello to the CentOS team. I have a work for which I need some solution from you. Actually we have some thin clients where we want to put a light weight Linux distro for users. As of now I have tested with Fedora and Ubuntu distros but the issue I am finding is they are not able to fit in my requirement of flash based hard disk consumption (~500 MB). although a distro named TinyME which is a custom version of PCLinuxOS seems to be very near and with a little customization by putting XFCE it was around 600MB. but it is not well known and supported. I have also tried CentOS 5 and 4 (with bare minimum installation) but it is coming little heavy, however later on I came across a link (http://www.owlriver.com/tips/tiny-centos/) providing a kickstart file for a bare minimum CentOS 4. It gave me CentOS 4 which ate around 400 MB. However it was little near to my specs but without a usable Desktop (KDE and Gnome seems to be out of question because of heavy size). Now I need some suggestions from you to make it work on my system. I need a light version of CentOS (I am very much particular about OS identity and the final product will retain the parent OS identity and quality). Can you provide me some kickstart file or something else which can help me in making a final thing. I do not need eye candies/OpenOffice/Adobe flash/Games/Media Player etc. Just a usable desktop, a lightweight file browser and desktop with icons (may be XFE). Redundant locale, man, doc, /lib/modules etc. will be removed as well. Karan told me that he heard someone installing CentOS 5 in 500MB. Can anyone point me in right direction. any kickstart file or iso will be of great help. At my personal end I would prefer to put CentOS (As it is based on RHEL and has an excellent community around). Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks and Regards, Puneet

cpan2rpm
by Joseph L. Casale 28 Oct '08

When you use --no-depchk with this tool, does this actually turn off the dependency check in the final rpm as well? Reading docs about this I am not sure and I just installed an rpm that I know I am missing the deps for and built with this switch and it installed fine? Thanks, jlc
