Zip password recovery
by Lorenzo Quatrini 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Hi all, sorry if I am Off Topic on this list, but I think that this could be interesting also for other people; anyway: what would be the best way to recover a password from a zip file? And for other type of files (eg. xls, pdf)? I googled a bit, and I can only find ugly/unthrusted ( ;) ) windows programs... what about Linux? TIA Lorenzo Quatrini

If possible, I'd like to do a minimal l CentOS 4.4 (the Single Server CD) installation and then mass upgrade everything to CentOS 5. I googled and found this URL http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide/ServerCD_4.4_to_5 Is this recommended? Or will might I run into any problems?

kvm-amd on centos 5
by Jerry Geis 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi all, I am playing with kvm-amd on my centos 5 x86_64 laptop. I am using 2.6.23 as a second boot option to the standard centos 5 kernel. I have everything up and running except for the network. My laptop is a static 192.168.1.150 and the kvm comes up as 10.X.X.X. I cant ping my laptop or anything in the world. Is there a trick that someone knows about to get network to startup? I'd like to have it on its own 192.168.1.X address if possible. Thanks, Jerry

concat mount
by Michael Kress 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi, I've got a buffalo 1TB DriveStation run in RAID 1 mode, i.e. 500G space available, but that beast is preformatted in vfat. Buffalo doesn't recommend to run it as ext2/ext3, so I mount a vfat drive wich has the limitations "no symlinks, no uids, no gids, etc.". As I just want to use the DriveStation as a backup target, I did the following: I created files of 4G size with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=x01-backup.ext3 bs=1G count=4' (as 4GB is the maximum file size under vfat) and formatted them as ext3. I can mount them and work with them, no prob. Now I'd like to have my 25 files of 4GB file size each coherently mounted as one 100G drive. Is this possible? Must be something like Raid 0. TIA Michael -- Michael Kress, kress(a)hal.saar.de http://www.michael-kress.de / http://kress.net P E N G U I N S A R E C O O L

CentOS to support ICH9
by David Hrbáč 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi, full ICH9 support for Centos 5 can be found http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/pub/ Take it as a workaround until CentOS 5.1 is released. I hope ICH9 to be included in this version. Support is done by backporting from new kernel versions. Delta file is created with mkdeltaiso from CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso, so full image can be created with applydeltaiso. Regards, David Hrbáč

Sword Project for centos 5
by fred smith 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hi! Anyone know of RPMS for the Sword Project (and Bibletime and/or GnomeSword) for Centos5/RHEL5? Latest RPMS I've found have a ton of dependencies, some of which are older than packages I've already got.

keep /boot, copy / from elsewhere?
by Les Mikesell 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

How much is likely to break if you keep a locally installed /boot partition with it's anaconda-crafted module set in the initrd, but wipe and completely replace / and any other partitions with a copy from a machine that has somewhat different hardware? Assume both machines are running the same kernel versions and the change is done while running from the rescue CD or other livecd boot. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

umount'ing a /media/disk... as a user
by Charles E Campbell Jr 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

Hello! Currently, whenever I attempt to umount /media/disk (or -1, etc), I either have to be user or have to have given the account sudo privileges. Since these "disks" are usually just flash-memory sticks, I'd really rather have the permission to umount them be given to users. The /etc/mtab shows the /media filesystems, /etc/fstab does not. Thank you, Charles Campbell
