redhat sources release time?
by Jaime Ventura 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hello. Since CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor, can that "prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor" delay the release of the source of a specific package? If yes, for how long? Thanks

divide centos-announce
by Martin Marques 22 May '07

22 May '07

I was thinking the last few days, wouldn't it be better to divide the centos-announce list by the archs, so that if I'm interested in the i386 arch, I only get those, and not the ia64, or the s390. Just a thought. -- 21:50:04 up 2 days, 9:07, 0 users, load average: 0.92, 0.37, 0.18 --------------------------------------------------------- Lic.

xfontsel
by Jerry Geis 22 May '07

22 May '07

I was reading where xfontsel is the OLD method of selecting fonts before antialiasing. What is the new method to show available fonts on the system and select them? How do I list or show the available anti-aliases fonts? Jerry

How to install the devsys after the fact
by Peter Lauda 22 May '07

22 May '07

I'm running with CentOS 4.3 and the system was setup originaly with no development system and no kernel sources. I'm trying to get the headers and libraries installed and it is giving me fits. I've followed the suggestions on several threads and tried to yum install gcc, kernel-headers, kernel-devel but I seem to not be able to get /usr/include or use/include/sys packages... don't know what they're called even. Has anyone succesfully installed these things after the OS and can you please point me at some howtos or docs on how it's done? Any help gratefuly appreciated. Cheers! --p

tcl font size issue on centso 4.4 x86_64
by Jerry Geis 22 May '07

22 May '07

I have a simply script that I cannot get a font size bigger than 40. Changing the font_size value to 80 does not make the font any bigger just the background. How do I get a bigger font than 40? I run this script as "wish -f file.tcl" What am I doing wrong to not get bigger fonts? THanks, Jerry --------------------------------------------- set font_size 40 set show_window_title 0 set disable_window_decorations 1 set screen_width [winfo screenwidth . ] set screen_height [winfo screenheight . ] set window_x 0 set window_y 0 set my_message "This is my message..." wm geometry . ${screen_width}x${font_size}+${window_x}+${window_y} wm overrideredirect . $disable_window_decorations font create ourFont -family helvetica -size $font_size set c [canvas .c -height $font_size -width $screen_width -background black -highlightthickness 0 ] pack $c $c create text 10 4 -text $my_message -font ourFont -anchor nw -fill red ~ ~

"core" package groups
by Niki Kovacs 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi, One nice thing I have with Debian is the possibility to have a really stripped-down install of things. Let's take an example. I want a cholesterol-free install of GNOME, I 'apt-get install gnome-core' which gives me the bare working minimum of GNOME as a starting point, and then I install what I really need. The same thing applies for KDE, with 'apt-get install kde-core'. Having such a thing would be great on CentOS. Currently, 'yum groupinstall <group>' tends to install many things. What do you think? Niki Kovacs -- Dyslexics have more fnu.

Installing to other than "/" label
by Kenneth Porter 22 May '07

22 May '07

I have a system with Fedora installed on the partition with label "/". Can I install CentOS on a new empty partition (/dev/cciss/c0d3p1), or do I need to remove the "/" label on the Fedora partition and change Fedora's fstab to mount by physical partition? I'd like to keep Fedora as a fall-back OS until I have CentOS completely up and working. My Fedora fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
