RHN Up2date Cruft: can I dump it?
by William L. Maltby 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Got part 1 - xx of back up working, so figured it's a good time to look for stuff to jettison... casually of course. Like paperwork, documentation, ... it's low on the priority list with GB so cheap these days. Anyway, 42M in /var/spool/up2date. Headers and such. I use only yum after my first month or so of CentOS. Can I dump that and similar non- config stuff? Or does it have some potential use? TIA. Bill

Kernel 2.4 in centos 4.3
by azeredo＠qmc.ufsc.br 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, I´m using centos in 4 servers that work as gateway for intranets where i work. I built a particular kernel for my needs but this kernel is 2.4.31. So i neeed to boot this kernel in centos 4.3 and centos 4.2. Can anyone help with that? I know the problem is mainly in modutils because modules cannot be loaded when kernel is loaded. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Luís. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Finding perl-MIME-Base64
by Robert Moskowitz 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

I am told by yum localinstall that I need this for TinyCA2. When I search for it, it seems like it SHOULD be part of basic perl package, but it is hard to argue with yum on dependencies.....

I also have removed some two i386 other packages that were installed, and also some (one or two) i686 packages. As you can see, yum is asking to install i386 and i686 packages. It was expected to ask only for x86_64 , wasn´t it? -- Vilela

rsync
by Melinda Odom 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Hi, I tried these and none of them worked: Add this you your rsync command --exclude=**/cache --exclude **/download --exclude**/pub, and see if it gives you the required result. If not then please be more specific.

I found this someplace on the Internet and tried it and it did work: rsync -av --delete --exclude "/cache/" --exclude "/download/" Does this difference have to do with what version rsync is?

imap flags on uw-imap
by Craig White 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

I am talking with a client about moving from CentOS 3.7 to CentOS 4.x and migrating their uw-imap to cyrus-imapd but in the process, would want to do a clean install. This is problematic in that if I want to preserve the IMAP flags for all the users INBOX and other mail folders, I would have to move them to another computer and then use something like imapsync (which I've used before) to copy the mail and all of the folders from the old IMAP server to the new one. I haven't a clue where/how uw-imap stores these flags to even begin to presume that I can successfully move them (though I suppose I can rsync the /var/spool/mail and the users folders)...does anyone know where these flags are stored?

Wine-Problems
by Timothy Kesten 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Hi Folks, I'm using CentOS 4.3 and Wine 0.9.16-2.el4.kb installed with yum. My Problem: I get only a glimmering WIN-Desktop. i.e. winecfg starts but not Labels are visible. The Buttons are visible, the Function of these buttons also works. But I can't use wine because no Application is startable. Only a 800x600 Window-Desktop appearce (in green color) - very strong glimmering. And thats all. With kubuntu on the same machine are no problems. But there is a Wine-Version 9.18. In CentOS-Repositories are no newer version. What informations are need more to help me. Bye Timothy
