The equivalent of Ghosting the system
by Todd Cary 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

If I were to lose my main hard drive, I would like to have the opportunity to do the same as I can do using Windows: restore from my USB and have a working system. If I were to rsync everything on the main drive (excluding the backup drive, of course and a few other directories) to my USB drive, could I restore using some CD based version of Linux e.g. Knoppix?

Mounting a LVM partition on a USB attached drive
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I have one of those USB hard drive cases, and I have my old hard drive in it. Eventhough I have made the changes to mount multiple USB drives in one USB device (works fine for my media play with internal and SD drive), I am only getting the first partition (/Boot (2)) automounted. df does not show anything more about the drive, but the gnome hardware browser shows all three partitions on the drive: /dev/sda sda1 ext3 sda2 linux-swap sda3 LVM Physical Volume Naturally it is sda3 that I want to access. So far my google searches have come up empty.

Compiling CentOS kernel
by devel 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

When I download a kernel from kernel.org I can compile it making config and make bzimage, but in some case I tried to make the kernel for a specific CPU in CentOS kernel source and I can not compile the CentOS kernel. Why CentOS kernel do not compile as kernel of kernel.org? I think that should worlk ease. -- Devel it, Precio http://www.pas-world.com

yum install netpbm - where?
by info＠ssl7.com 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

I'm a noob with CentOS so I appreciate your valuable time and patience with my silly questions. Hopefully, I won't be a noob much longer :-) I'm using CentOS 4.4 and Plesk 8.1 on my Apache web server. I installed netPBM via yum: # yum install netpbm-devel.i386 # yum install netpbm-progs I saw no errors, and when I run "yum list installed" I see the packages. The problem is, my customers' programs can't find netPBM and neither can I. I've been looking for a file named "netpbm" or "netPBM" and I can't find it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. I updated my "locate" database, then I ran "# locate netpbm" but still found nothing. I tried "which netpbm", "whereis netpbm", and everything I could think of but I still can't find it. I've tried restarting Apache to no avail. Can anyone tell me what's going on? What's frikken the path to netPBM? Is there something else I need to do, after running "yum install (pkg)"? Thanks again for your valuable time. Best wishes, -- David Black Oklahoma City, OK USA

Changing the file type
by Todd Cary 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

I have a USB external drive that has not been used with my Linux system. The HD is from a Windows system, so it has a NTFS file system. My manuals speak of the fdisk -t command to change the file type, however that does not appear to be available with Centos. Could someone refer me to the steps I should use to change the file type, change to partition if necessary, create a Linux file system and then set it up so that when I plug in the USB drive it will automatically mount (if possible).
