what the best ? apt-get? yum or urpmi ?
by Security 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hello, I must make a choice concerning the use of a tool used to update rpms: yum, urpmi or apt-get. Personally, I use urpmi every day, without real problems (the dependences, even those of Perl are very well managed), the "hdlist" can be used in several forms , it contains a lot of funtions but, it is not integrated into up2date and does not have a graphic interface that fits Centos3 without break all depedencies. There are also the two others: yum and apt-get. Because Centos uses yum, I would like to have a feedback: speed of calculations for the dependences, comparative with apt-get. There are already opinions on the question (yum is easy to install, more flexible, but less powerful. and to connect itself itself to the sources + download the lists of packages even if no update is avaible...... grrr). So, Wthat need I to use for a Centos-like ditribution? (It's to intagrate the tool on Gralinux final) apt-get + synaptic?? yum+yumi???urpmi in command line only ??? Thanks :) jean-seb

vsftpd and Kickstart
by Ken Leyba 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

I'm trying to setup a kickstart server that will use ftp. I created a user account and put the ISO images in /home/centos. I created a directory /home/centos/disc1 and mounted the first ISO image there. When I try to do the ftp install I keep getting an error "Unable to retrieve ftp://my.ftpserver.com//home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img" I tried different versions of the ftp directory but the error above is using /home/centos/disc1. If I manually ftp into the machine and cd to /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/ I can get netstg2.img. However if I do it like this it won't work: ftp> get /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img remote: /home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img local: ./home/centos/disc1/CentOS/base/netstg2.img: No such file or directory ftp> pwd 257 "/home/centos" So, I don't know if vsftpd isn't configured correctly or if I'm not doing something right with the kickstart install. I haven't created a kickstart file yet or mounted the other CD's, I just want to get the install part working first. Ken -- Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. -Pablo Picasso

Re: 4g/4g

Okay, I did some elementary research and it appears it was never adopted in the stock 2.4 kernel. Although 2.6 seems to have been designed for it -- although I see the issues you were talking about, largely when user >2GiB. I'd be interested in finding out if they have the same issues with the 64GiB mode and formal PAE36 paging. Anyhoo, my apologies on that _poor_ assumption. Given my lack of exposure to stock kernels, I should have kept my mouth shut. I don't know why I didn't put 2-2 together. But it should be noted that it's no longer a Red Hat-only thing. I've seen several non-Red Hat (or long-gone Red Hat forked) distros who are using it. I should have made my responses in that context. Again, my apologies for that. -- Bryan J.

RE: [CentOS] CentOS and Red Hat SATA drivers
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Hi there -- The version number associated with the driver is 0. There is no further information available other than it was listed within the driver disk creation utility as a Red Hat Enterprise 3 driver. Versions 3.3 and 3.4 are the only two of the 3.x line that support the x86_64 architecture. Which version of the two would you recommend as a starting off point? -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Johnny Hughes Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 12:57 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] CentOS and Red Hat SATA drivers On Wed, July 27, 2005 11:51 am, Kaplan, Andrew H. said: > Hi there -- > > I was going to experiment with a CentOS x86_64 install in the following > manner: > One of our new dual-xeon servers is using an Adaptec SATA controller card > that > has drivers available for Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and Enterprise Linux > 3.0. > I was going to create the drivers for one or the other and then attempt an > install via the linux dd command.

Usually, the kernel version for the driver needs to match the kernel it is built for. So, you would use CentOS-3 or CentOS-2.1 and get the ISO that you need, based on the driver. We did not release a CentOS-3.0 ... so there is not a CD for that. What update # is the RHEL driver for (ie, RHEL-4 Update 2, etc.) You can find old CDs and trees here: http://vault.centos.org/ -- Johnny Hughes <http://www.HughesJR.com/> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CentOS and Red Hat SATA drivers
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Hi there -- I was going to experiment with a CentOS x86_64 install in the following manner: One of our new dual-xeon servers is using an Adaptec SATA controller card that has drivers available for Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 and Enterprise Linux 3.0. I was going to create the drivers for one or the other and then attempt an install via the linux dd command. My question is, would either of these drivers work with a version of CentOS, and if so what version could I use? Thanks.

SATA controller compatibility
by Michael Thon 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Greetings - I'm looking to put some cheap storage into my server, which is running centos 3. I'm looking at the Maxtor SATA/150 PCI Card and a big maxtor sata drive. I would like to make sure that CentOS has driver for this controller. I looked in Red Hat's hardware database and did some google'ing but I couldn't find any info to confirm that this card is compatible. Any ideas where else to look? Thanks Mike
