You are using the >mirrorlist and not a specific CentOS mirror, do you? Kai: Thank you. I will do that, ASAP. Either *very* early some morning, before my wife is using her box, or when she's not home. I am not using a specific mirror. The other boxes also have priority working and yum gives the message about 259 (?) packages are protected and the Kernel updates on them were OK. However, as I am typing this, I suspect that I updated the Kernels on the other 2 boxes, by checking that they be updated in "PUP", with a couple of other packages, and not with the blanket "yum update" as I did in her box, with the command line. >BTW: I notice that your mail is missing any threading information, so >that it doesn't thread at all. I see that other people who use Gmail do >get the threading information, so there's probably some option not >activated in your Gmail account. Thank you for pointing that out. I do not believe that is a setting in Gmail. When I signed up for the list (3 years ago), I selected the Digest, because we had to go back to dial up, when we moved here. We have ADSL now, so I just changed that, to get individual emails from the list. That should begin Monday or Tuesday, and, hopefully, my messages will look better, when I reply. Also, during the past few days, with the DVD reader problem and this one, I have also done some reading of the ML Archives on the CentOS web site and copied messages there that I replied to, before I received them in the Digest the next morning. Hopefully, when I begin receiving individual messages, when I reply to them, the threading will not get screwed up, as it is now. Lanny

Problem mounting failed drive.
by Andrew ＠ ATM Logic 05 May '08

05 May '08

What is it that makes "text rescue" able to mount a drive, but I cannot mount it in a running system (or Knoppix/Ubuntu/CentOS Live CD etc) ? When booting with "text rescue" it mounts the old filesystem and I can see all my data (Not that I can do anything with it.... I cannot seem to figure out how to get it out of the system????) Anyhow I rebuilt a 2nd server, and tested and notice the same, even on a working systems I cannot mount the drives in another system....?? So, anyone able to help me either, mount the failed system (currantly sitting in the working system as hdc2) or mount it into anything else so I can copy some of the data off? This all started with a Grub error 25 that I could not seem to fix... Thanks for any tips.

CentOS as VPN Gateway?
by Morten Nilsen 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hello, I am currently setting up my new router, and I opted for using CentOS.. Now, I need OpenVPN support, and I'd rather not install it from source. I tried yum, but there doesn't appear to be any packages for it available.. Any tips? -- Cheers, Morten :wq

Re: [CentOS] Watching Netflix movies on CentOS
by techlists＠comcast.net 03 May '08

I doubt you can do it. Besides requiring IE, you also have to download and run a Windows based viewer. Even using Windows XP with Firefox, I've never been able to get it running without IE. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Rogelio <scubacuda(a)gmail.com> > Has anyone here been able to view Netflix movies on CentOS?

During the past few days, I did "yum update" on our 3 Desktops and I will now continue to do that, frequently, as if these Desktop boxes were Servers. In the 2 Dell Dimension boxes, the kernel updated. In this Compaq Evo D300v Celeron box, the kernel did not update. Lanny
