Hi Everyone,
I'd be grateful if anyone can help with a couple of queries I have.
Recently I downloaded Centos 3.3 and cannot get it to install I my system. The system I am using to install is a based on an original EPIA Mini-ITX m/board. At a certain point in installing it comes up with an error saying something like "system not supported". Can anyone advise if they have got Centos installed sucessfully on an ITX system? In truth I am not surprised that it doesn't work as I guess it is not what you would original have seen as being used for an Enterprise Server, but lack-of-space at home prevents me from having a full server.
The epia processors emulate i586 , which is unsupported by rhel3 .
It is possible to get it to work, but it is quite alot of work.
The other query I have relates to differences between RHEL and Centos. I originally downloaded Centos as a means of studying for the RHCE/T certification given that I cannot afford the cost of the commercial/supported version. Can anyone point me to a summary of what is missing from Centos compared to the Red Hat Enterprise release and therefore may potentially hamper my studies. The site briefly mentions that "Non-free packages, such as those encumbered by a non-redistributable copyright or trademark, are altered to avoid infringement".
Nothing is missing, there is the addition of yum as an updater/package manager.
