Sometimes people just differ on what context they are using, so they will differ by nature. I think the comments on Red Hat in general just need to die though. It's clear there are some people just don't like Red Hat, and no amount of discussion is going to change that. From: Chris Mauritz <chrism(a)imntv.com> > Exactly!

Yes, but unfortunately this typically messes up the BIOS disk assignments, and the DOS redirector (normally used for networking, but also CD) also plays games with memory. What you will need to do is boot directly to an actual DOS partition with a DOS installation ("Chicago" DOS7 aka Win9x/Me will work). You might be able to get away with booting as long as the LOADLIN binary and kernel/initrd are not on the CD so the redirectory doesn't need to be loaded. In a nutshell, it's always a PITA, regardless. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Is it possible to start Installer from WindowsXP?
by Takashi Nakamura 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi, My computer has only primaly IDE but not secondaly. I connected a hard drive as Master and DVD-R as Slave on IDE. BIOS doesn't recognize IDE devices, but Windows XP that boots up from SATA hard drive can recognize DVD-R and can read files on the CentOS Installer Disk 1 of 4. Is it possible to start Centos4 Installer from WindowsXP? If possible, which file on Disk 1 should I click? Even if they are possible, can CentOS boot up from IDE Master hard drive? I think probably not. Thanks in advance, Takashi Nakamura

Backspace key and gnome-terminal
by Oliver Schulze L. 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi, My Delete key does not work anymore in gnome-terminal. I have a keyboardless server, so I think this may be the problem. When I press the Delete key, I get the ~ caracter printed. I deleted all the ~/.g* files, in order to have a clean and default gnome installation but still, no luck. This is my locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 LC_CTYPE="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_TIME="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_COLLATE="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_MONETARY="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_PAPER="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_NAME="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL= When I start gnome, I get a warning about not having the XKB extension loaded. Any gelp? Thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>

DVD writer problem
by Mark Jarvis 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m -sao -v -eject -dummy /tmp/diskfile.iso to test and cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m -sao -v -eject /tmp/diskfile.iso to actually record. I had a lot of trouble getting a good read of the whole original DVD--it kept getting an I/O error at 94-95% of the way through. After multiple cleanings and 20-40 attempts, I finally got the whole thing copied with no reported errors. It then took me a couple of tries to get the cdrecord options right and to run as root to get the requisite priority. The "-dummy" run ran with no errors that I noticed--there was an LOT of output--and "-dummy" didn't work. It wrote to the blank DVD anyway. I then did a run without the "-dummy". Although the original will play on both my PC and the DVD player hooked to the TV, the two copied DVDs (DVD+Rs) are coasters. DURN! Any solutions, suggestions, pointers to articles I should read, etc. will be appreciated. BTW, I've never quite gotten around to playing DVDs or my music files (mp3 and Real Player .rmj files) from Linux. I'd appreciate being pointed in the direction to start. -mj-

LVM problems [ was: bad blocks ... ]

Was this with CentOS3 or 4, ie LVM or LVM2? What problems? We use LVM on all our RH9 setups at work. No problems at all. OTOH, LVM2 is a work in progress that RH chose to pass along. I keep hearing rumors that the support may be more complete in Update 1 whenever that comes along. -- Collins Head teachers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but the Start button.
