What you wrote makes a lot of sense and when it becomes possible, I'll devote that much space to M$ Windows. My eventual goal is to discontinue using Windows and avoid these problems. Lanny

Bart: I'm contemplating using 10 of the 40 GB for WinXP and the rest for CentOS 5. I hope to redo this box on Friday. What you mentioned is one of my many pet peeves about Windows. Frequently, I will install some Windows ap and the piggish programmers who wrote the stuff were not professional enough to allow me to select where I want it installed (our other boxes have a D partition for Programs, which is where I'd want it installed) and they just go ahead and install into C, as if they own the box.

Nicholas: Our other boxes have four (4) partitions for Windows. I've never installed Windows on this box, because it came from the factory with WinXp in Spanish. I reduced the NTFS partition in size, to make room for CentOS, but it's still running what came on it, out of the Dell factory. Last week, I got an English language WinXP from Dell, so I'm ready to roll in English now and do it properly on this one too! >then use norton/symantec ghost to generate images of your system Several of our boxes have had Removable EIDE drive units in them (made by CRU) and I used those, before I began using Linux, to make images, and that was a great thing to do. I got lazy about making the backups and found it easier to backup over the network. I didn't use Norton Ghost, I used something else, but as I write this, I can't recall the name of the Utility I used to make the images. As I recall, at that time (a few years ago), Norton was more difficult to use and I'd read something about some unreliable results from Ghost. >you can probably do this with linux tools as well if you don't want to buy ghost. Yes. I will do everything possible with Linux tools in the future. Thank you! Lanny

They include information about workarounds, when using it with a Dell WinXP Recovery CD, for one example. I'll make a CD for that, after I'm up and running. Thanks! Lanny

The use of Centos logo
by Fajar Priyanto 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi all, A friend of mine asks me to teach him Linux using RHEL5. But, I insist that rather than using RHEL5, we use Centos5 instead, and he agrees :) So, I'm thinking of giving him a "certificate of attendance" and putting Centos logo on it. May I do that? What is the guidelines? Thank you :) -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 09:31:35 up 25 min, 2.6.22-14-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.

About md5sum
by Fajar Priyanto 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi all, A friend of mine gives me a copy of Centos5 DVD. I then make an iso of it using dd if=/dev/cdrom of=centos5.iso command. I then check it using sha1sum. But the result is different than of listed in Centos website. Should it the same? Or we simply cannot compare sha1sum from burned DVD to that of 'unburned' iso file?

pine 4.64 with CentOS with LDAP

Hello pine 4.64 on CentOS 5 I have successfully compiled 4.64 with SSL and it works fine. However, I like to add LDAP feature. I am having trouble with compiling it with LDAP. I built the latest stable openldap-2.3.38 I did include this when I built openldap: ./configure --with-cyrus-sasl Compile process gives me these errors below. Any clue as what I may be doing wrong?

A clean install after data recovery is >still the best bet. I'll look into Ultimate Boot CD for Windows, after I get this box up and running again. I will either get that or BartPE. Thanks! I recovered the data from the NTFS partition this morning, so I am ready to "learn by destroying". The consensus of opinion from Ross and you is that I should bite the bullet and do it correctly. Wipe the HD and do fresh installs. Time consuming it will be (especially installing the Windows aps), but, I will have a better system and I will learn. For several months, I've wanted to install/use the free VMware Server, but I don't have space on the HD to do much with it now. One of the suggestions, from Alain, was to have WinXP running virtually, under CentOS. I am contemplating devoting about 75% of the HD capacity to CentOS. Installing a lean WinXP in English, and dual boot with CentOS, and then install VMware Server and install WinXP in English, in virtualization. The "KISS" technique (fdisk /mbr, run the anti root kit program, reinstall GRUB and restore grub.conf) is tempting and would probably work, and would be much faster, but I still wouldn't have the kind of system I will have with the more time consuming approach. All the ideas everyone who has responded to this thread have thrown into the basket for consideration are deeply appreciated! Lanny
