Buy CentOS CDs/DVDs in France?
by Niki Kovacs 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi, I'd like to buy a set of CentOS CDs: 4CDs + 1 DVD. I'm on dialup, so this is the best solution for me. Plus, usually CDs from the store are better quality and tend to last longer in my humble experience. Normally I buy my CDs at ikarios.fr, but strangely, they only sell Centos 3.7 CDs. I mailed them about 2 weeks ago, but got no answer. Anyone knows where's the best place to get these when I'm in France? Cheers, Niki Kovacs

K3b, cdrdao and chmod +s
by Niki Kovacs 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi, I just managed to get a fairly coherent configuration for our public "salle multimedia" with CentOS 4.3. I used the rpmforge and the KBS repos for additional software. There's only one soft that I had to rebuild: K3B. The included version's translation is just one big mess. I remember from my Slack days not so long ago that K3B is rather easy to build, so I downloaded the source from the K3B site, built and compiled with checkinstall, and everything went smooth. K3B's vanilla version requires cdrdao to be installed. I found a RHEL4 RPM on rpm.pbone.net and installed it. On startup, K3B performs various checks about the system configuration, and as it was to be expected, it suggested to run cdrdao with root rights. I knew this from Slack, so I just did a chmod +s /usr/bin/cdrdao. Now I'm puzzled about something. In the Gnome Terminal, /usr/bin/cdrdao with the new rights (-rwsr-sr-x) appears as a red block, reminding the entrance of the "Nuclear weapons" block in an old James Bond movie. Was that chmod +s a no-no? Will it eat my three cats? Niki Kovacs

G4-400mhz enough for CentOS 4.3?
by Chris Mauritz 18 May '06

18 May '06

It's that time again. I'm stuck with a bunch of older Powermac G4's that I either need to repurpose or give the heave ho. I've not tried CentOS on Mac hardware before. Would the following config be suitable for a (somewhat slow) workstation? PowerMac G4 400mhz 256mb RAM 40gig ATA disk Some sort of dual-head ATI video setup with 64mb VRAM (I've forgotten which cards they are) Cheers,

IMAP version
by Andrew Cotter 18 May '06

18 May '06

I run a number of Centos 3 & 4 servers, and the question is not specific to them, but I am assuming the answer would apply just the same. Is there any way to verify the version of IMAP (IMAP4 vs older) running on a server? I have a RH 7.X box up and has the standard email config. Not looking for the sendmail version, but a way to determine what IMAP standard it is using. Andrew

mysql problems
by William Warren 18 May '06

18 May '06

I installed plesk(first mistake at least here..<G>) and it got in my way in some area more than it helped. The first thing it did was deny root access to mysqld and i could not find the username and password for adding another database. I removed plesk and mysql. when i used yum to reinstall mysql i was then told root @ localhost was denied. I removed mysql again and nuked all of the mysql files i could find that were left behind. Now when i reinstall it won't even start. Any ideas? -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Installing a RPM with yum
by Claudio Castro 17 May '06

17 May '06

Hi all, this is my first post... Here the situation, I've installed php 4 with yum, using the default CentOS repositories, but now I realize that I need the Informix extensions and others like unixodbc, gd etc. This last two packages where in the repository so I search with yum and I found them, and install them, but not the Informix one. So here my question, when I install a RPM package, then, how I change or add extensions?? the same with Apache and ssl support . Any help would be apreciated Regards. Claudio
