MD5 checker for Win2000 for ISOs
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

For a change, I am going to try and check the checksum before burning the CDs.... My burner is on a Win2000 box, and I have all 6 of the Centos 5 ISO images there already. So I grab a checker from: http://www.diamondcs.com.au/freeutilities/md5.php And checking the ISO image files with this program, I get different numbers than in the MD5 hash txt file. Can anyone point me to a 'proper' checker?

minimize download bandwidth techniques
by Dale Sykora 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

I know of a few techniques for minimizing server bandwidth when bittorent is not an option. 1) If you have the beta isos, you can rename them as centos 5 isos and then rsync from a mirror that allows rsync (such as kernel.org) Then only changes from beta to centos 5 plus some overhead is downloaded. I suppose you could use this technique with bittorrent too. 2) Instead of downloading both cd and dvd isos, just download the cd isos and use a script to create the dvd iso. You can rsync like step 1 if the dvd md5sum differs. A cd to dvd script is at url below (although I haven't tried it yet). http://www.tuxforums.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=446

Install (not boot) from USB drive?
by Les Mikesell 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Is it possible to install directly from a DVD iso image downloaded to a USB external drive as a file on a FAT filesystem? That is, if I burn the boot.iso on a CD and boot it, is there any way to mount the USB drive and install from the DVD image file there (some target machines don't have a DVD drive). -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

4.92 beta update to centos5 proper words of caution
by Jim Perrin 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

For those of you who are going to do the update from the centos5 beta to centos 5 proper despite the warnings, this is a(n incomplete) list of instructions for how to accomplish this 1. Get yourself into runlevel 3 (telinit 3 from terminal) as the dbus update will die if you're in X. 2. Setenforce 0 # turn off selinux as there have been some unconfirmed reports that it will interfere with the updates. 3. yum update 4. rpm -qa release="*fc6*" # this will let you find and identify the packages which had the release string changed from fc6 to el5. 5. manually update these rpms to the corresponding proper versions for centos5 proper. I'm not sure how many of these there actually are, so follow-ups to this post are welcomed. If these instructions need to be modified, or are incorrect, please reply with corrections and/or additions. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

glibc i686
by Tony Schreiner 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi I just did my first upgrade from 4 to 5 and for the most everything looks great. Thanks for everything so far. I did notice, that now I have glibc.i386 installed instead of glibc.i686, arch is set to i686 and the i686 kernels did get installed. Tony Schreiner Boston College
