OT: Fonts on CentOS 5
by Leonardo Pinheiro 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi, I have tried SuSE Enterprise Desktop 10 and its fonts are very pleasing. Web browsing is very nice with Firefox and those fonts. It would be very nice to have those fonts in CentOS 5 and even CentOS 4. Searching on the net didn't help me very much. Ideas? Obs: Package selection for SLED 10: http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/desktop10/i386/index_group.html Cheers Leonardo

HD/Partitions/RAID setup
by Ashley M. Kirchner 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I have a machine that's been configured as follows using its BIOS tools: SATA-0 is a 160 GiB drive used as boot SATA-1 and SATA-2 are both 500 GiB drives and were configured as a RAID-1 in BIOS. When the system boots up, BIOS reports 1 160 GiB SATA drive, and 1 Logical volume as RAID-1 ID#0 500 GiB, which is what I would expect it to report, as the two drives are now raided together. However, when I boot into the Centos installer and I get to configuring the partitions, it lists both sda, sdb, and sdc as available. Both sdb and sdc are 500 GiB. I would've expected to only see one drive for the RAID setup. Can someone explain why I see both drives and how am I supposed to configure them? I thought if I configured the BIOS to raid them, I wouldn't have to do anything in the OS other than to format the thing and expect it to work. -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.

How to create a virtual machine? (Centos-5-beta-xen)
by Marcelo Maia Garcia 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi, I am trying to create a virtual machine with FC6 inside a Centos 5 (beta) Xen host. I am following the documentation of Fedora[1]. I used the "virt-install" command, and every went fine until the moment to create the partitions on the virtual disk (file "/var/xen/fc6.iso" with 10GB). No matter with option I choose: remove all partitions, remove linux partitions, use free space, etc, does not work. The message is: "An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on wihich to create new filesystems. Please check your hardware for the cause of the problem." The documentation seems so straightforward! Any hint or comment will be welcomed. Cheers Marcelo [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6

SiS 661FXon CentOS?????
by Manuel Enrique Chávez Manzano 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I have a CentOs 5 beta running on a Desktop with a video card SiS 661FX, unfortunaly I can't run compixz on that card, and neither run any 3D aplications. My question is: How can I give 3D acelaration on that video card and Is there any way to run compixz. I've been looking on google about the driver for that card and I've found nothing. Any idea??.

Does LVM affect performance
by WipeOut 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi, Pretty simple questions but probably not such a simple answer.. Does using LVM affect disk and system performnace? There must be some overhead involved (memory, cpu or disk IO) in using LVM but is that overhead measurable or is it insignificant?? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts or from anyone who has tested it.. Thanks..
