I just realized it myself while installing a test host for upcoming C3U6. I don't know how i managed to leave it out, but i did and now it's fixed (no one has been complaining tho which makes me wondering if there even is any CentOS-3/ia64 installations :) files: updates/ia64/RPMS/libunwind-0.97-4.ia64.rpm -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/

How do I get a "preferences" menu back into my panel?
by Dave Gutteridge 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

For reasons I don't understand, there is no "Preferences" menu available in any of the drop down menus in my panel in Gnome. It was there before, but I'm not sure what I could have done to remove it or how it could be missing. How do I get a "preferences" menu back into my panel? Dave

Booting into GNOME
by Todd Cary 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

First let me thank those who have been of great help in getting a better understanding of loading Linux and using yum. In order to avoid having a read error from the installer after well along the process, I decided to try loading the minimal Linux and then installing what I need. But that is requiring me to expand my knowlege about the installation/boot process (not a bad thing). So, I used yum to install the GNOME grouplist and I set the ID in inittab to 5 so it would boot in the graphical mode. That did not happen, so I loaded the X-Window grouplist and it did bring me into the graphical mode (after asking me the setup questions I usually get when I do an install in the Graphical mod). Why are the questions asked at this point? Not when I was in the text/minimal mode. Since I have never done a text install, I do not know what I would have had to do to have the questions asked if I had stayed in the text mode (as I guess many do for a server only install). Now my main question is "how do I get Linux to come up in Gnome"? It is coming up in what I suspect is X-Windows. Again, many thanks for your help and patience.... -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Using YUM
by duffmckagan 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

I haven't configured YUM . How do I do it? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have no idea about it. Moreover, I would also like to use APT afterwards. I really want to try both of these. I have used apt-get before many a times, but never used YUM. Can anybody post the procedure to get this working? Which repositories to be added, how it is to be configured? And yes, how do i use the apt-get on Cent OS too. Note that I will be using only one at a time. And I will keep the other thing for future reference. Thank you. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

Best way to add/update an installation
by Todd Cary 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

In an effort to prevent getting many minutes into an installation only to have a CD read fail (I did verify the CD's first), I did a minimal install. Can I use the minimal install to add the necessay packages for a HTTP server and graphical interface? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Kickstart, package always selected
by Fong Vang 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

I'm trying to kickstart a Centos 4.1 system with the minimum set of packages. I have no use for ypbind so I'm trying to prevent from being installed, but kickstart/anaconda always insist on its installation (complaining that the package is missing). This is the %packages section of my ks file so far: %packages #-@ dialup kernel grub e2fsprogs lvm2 -slocate -bluez-utils -bluez-bluefw -bluez-hcidump-1.11-1.i386.rpm -isdn4k-utils -pcmcia-cs -ppp -wvdial -ypbind as you can see, ypbind is deselected in the ks file. Is ypbind a mandatory package? In the RPMS directory, I tried to determine what package may be requiring ypbind, but I could find any. This is what I used to determine what package may be requiring it: cd CentOS/RPMS for i in *.rpm; do echo ---------------- $i; rpm -qp --requires $i 2>/dev/null | grep ypbind && echo ******** $i *******;done

edit /etc/inittab and change id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault: * Jeff >>> todd(a)aristesoftware.com 8/15/2005 3:28:18 PM >>> Many thanks! Currently I am downloading the "GNOME Desktop Environment", so once that is done, I'll try your suggestion. By the way, I have forgotten where/how to modify the boot process so that it brings up GNOME instead of the text mode.
