VMPlayer can only use virtual machines that are already created, either with the full version of VMware WS, or Server. I use VMware server for all my uses now, I've been a VMware WS user since 4.0 days. So far, server has been fine and I can't argue about the cost! HTH Mark

Testing kernel and xfs/netatalk
by Alex Palenschat 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

I recently took over a x86_64 CentOS 4.0 server running an "unsupported" kernel. On examining the box it seems that perhaps it is because of the use of xfs and netatalk. I would like to update the box to 4.3. I think I can do away with the netatalk, but doing away with xfs would require a substantial amount of work. Questions: 1: In reading the archive of this list there was a post regarding the kernel in the Testing repo supporting xfs. Is this the case and if so, would it be a "bad idea" to run that kernel without essentially runnning a test box using all packages from the testing repo? 2: Does the same kernel include netatalk support? It would be easier to leave the netatalk in place if that were so. 3: Should I just bite the bullet and get rid of the xfs? I'm not sure what predicated the choice of filesystem in the first place. Any thoughts/comments would be welcome, Alex Palenschat

Hi I am posting this message again because I am desperate. I have search the net, joined the x.org mailing list and have gotten no where. I never even got a response on the x.org mailing list. I am using a microsoft wireless laser mouse model 6000, and it moves fine but when you move over icons menus etc it will click on it own. I am at the point of switching to Ubuntu which works just fine. I have even changed my xorg.conf file to match Ubuntus for the mouse section and still no go. I have added the plus repositories and updated to the latest kernel and still no go. My xorg.conf file look like the following Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection My system is a dual athlon 2.2Ghz (Tyan mpx) 1gig ram 200Gig HD Ati 9700Pro 128Meg USB 1.1 USB microsoft 6000 laser mouse (wireless) pluged into a 4port hub USB Saitek eclipse keyboard. pluged into a 4port hub Thanks for any help Mace

Do you have any logfile output? First check whether the environment (JAVA_HOME for example) is set before calling /usr/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/bin/startup.sh. For example <<<< snip #!/bin/bash export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_05_x86_64 bin/startup.sh >>>> snip -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] Im Auftrag von Mark Quitoriano Gesendet: Montag, 17.

Greg, I just recently had to set my own Mail server up and went through much of what you are trying to do. Most FAQ/Howtos out there involve compiling code and a lot of tweaking. What I ended up doing was following the recommendations here: http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html http://jimsun.linxnet.com/misc/postfix-anti-UCE.txt http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/ And then loading amavisd-new and clamd/clamav-update from Karanbir's Fedora Extras rebuild yum repository: http://centos.karan.org Amavisd-new will manage clam and spamassassin for you nicely. There was some reading of man pages and configuration of files to get it to work, but I'm left with all packages being managed by yum and no compiling or use of CPAN for perl dependencies. YMMV, Alex Palenschat

Thanks for the reply, It make sense now, I should have thought to try the ks=hd:<device>:/ks.cfg setting. I first I thought this was for hard disks only. Anyway, tried ks=hd:scd0:/test-ks.cfg and everything works as expected. Thank you. Dean.

Kickstart problem.
by Plant, Dean 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

I am trying to use kickstart for automated builds from a DVD. Some of the machines have DVD's drives and some have CDRom drives only. With the CDRom only machines I would like to plug in an external DVD drive via USB and use this to kickstart. The DVD only machines work correctly with a isolinux.cfg as label test kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=cdrom:/test-ks.cfg Machines with a internal CDRom drive and the external USB DVD do not find the kickstart so I figure that I need to change the ks=cdrom:/test-ks.cfg to something else. I have tried the following with no success label test2 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=cdrom1:/test-ks.cfg To save me producing lots of coasters can anyone tell me what the "ks=cdrom" should be changed to. Thanks Dean.
