For a time I ran FC6 on a laptop with only 256MB RAM, and I ran kde! It was
slow, yes, but quite usable as long as I did one thing at a time.
Considering the similarity between FC6 and CentOS5 I would think you'd be OK,
using it with care. ISTR that Firefox occasionally caused runaway cpu, but I
doubt if the same problem exists in the current CentOS version.

I was running FedoraCore6 (very close to CentOS5)
on a P4 box with 256MB of RAM, using KDE.
OpenOffice (word, calc) was usable once it started, startup
was rather slow.
yum update was painful, I had to run it from text mode sometimes.
With 384MB and IceWM or XFCE you should be OK
(although I am not sure if Firefox and OpenOffice at the same
time will be possible ...)
One problem with old firefox is that it is (said to be) leaking memory
so restarting it every few hours of so might be useful.
I seem to remember that opera was advertised as being
less memory hungry than firefox.

If you don't have to have a Red Hat based distro for this installation,
perhaps look at DSL.
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
You can do an installation to hard drive and it takes very little
resources. It's Debian based, not my preference, but perfect for these
types of situations.
It's supposed to run on memory as low as 128Mb and still be fast.
As far as your wireless, from what I read you have to use the
ndiswrapper to get cards to work under it, configuring it with
wlanconfig. I've never done it.
Anyways, hope this helps. Not that I like suggesting non CentOS
products, but it's a suggestion.
Regards,
Max

Hi
Is there any way to re-export an nfs mounted directory? I am having three

below manner [bcoz there is no alternative way for me to setup nfs share]
HOST A--->>>EXPORTS /prod/data ------->>>HOST B
HOST B ---->>MOUNTED ------>>> /prod/data-----UNDER---/PROD1 [working fine]
HOST B EXPORTS /PROD1 ------>>>>HOST C
HOST C ----->>TRY MOUNTING ----->>>RESULT IN BELOW ERROR
BUT WHEN I TRY TO MOUNT THE ALREADY MOUNTED NFS SHARE IN "HOST C " I AM
GETTING BELOW ERROR.
#################MOUNT ERROR##########################################
mount: 10.65.64.30:/PROD1 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

I'm fairly sure I've seen a how-to for that, so it's worth googling. I may
have a printout with a url, but I can't look just now.

I have a number of 256Mb Centos installs here with Gnome. I shut off as
many services as possible, and it runs. I made the swap partition (Yes I
manually create a separate swap partition instead of running it in LVM)
at least 512Mb if not more.
Firefox 1.5 works fine. Watch yourself with OpenOffice, don't have too
much running.
One trick I do with Centos servers running with only 256Mb, is run
VNCserver and then from my notebook access with Gnome. This works great,
only a one line change in the vnc files to have Gnome as your GUI on the
server.

Please point me in the right direction....
My ISP is giving me an IPv6 prefix, but to get that I have to:
The current Speedstream ADSL router will be configured as a bridge. I will
have to set up a Linux (read Centos, I hope) router that will connect
ethernet to the Speedstream but run PPPoE to his network and get both the
IPv4 and IPv6 route delegations.
There is no easy way that I know of to test this ahead of time. I basically
have to get the box configed, have my ISP switch the Speedstream to briding
mode, and GO! So I need to do some reading....

yes ... the new kernel is fixed upstream for that issue

As others have said, you should be fine with 384MB RAM. One thing to
note - I think the graphical installer requires 512MB to run (check the
release notes) so you would need to perform a text mode install. Do a
fairly minimal install and add whatever you want afterwards with YUM.

This is already solved on another thread ... but for closure on this
one, there is a known bug here with that kernel and ipsec:

Hi list,
Is it possible to set up an NFSv4/Kerberos environment on CentOS 5.1?
I set up Kerberos and NFS but get several erros
"Warning: rpc.gssd appears not to be running.
mount.nfs4: Permission denied"
Is this an CentOS oder an config problem?
Greetings
Sebastian

If no additional repositories are selected during installation,
384MB should be OK with graphical.
If you want to be sure, run it over vnc
(needs specifying vnc vncpassword=a_password when starting installer)
(and keep in mind vnc is unencrypted protocol;
Graphical installer tends to be more complete than text in later RedHat systems.
BTW. I am using CentOS 4.6 with KDE on P4 with 128MB RAM.
Perhaps not stellar performance, but quite usable.
(And I do not run OpenOffice and firefox at the same time...)
Good luck,
Wojtek.

We start to use centos 5 for our workstation at our site (University Innsbruck)
and we use openafs to hold the home directories. There would be a big advantage
to have the openafs kernel module (and the additional rpms) in the centos
extras (or addons) repository with an automatic compile for the available
kernels.
If you need any help to do this i would be happy to participate in any way.

Jeffrey B. Layton <> scribbled on Thursday, May 29, 2008 1:31 PM:
I use CentOS 5.1 with 256M RAM (incl X, Gnome, Firefox etc and the proprietary
Nvidia 3D gfx drivers. Yes I know it's overkill, but it's so much nicer and
easier to move around stuff using a file manager instead of doing it on the
CLI) in a web server scenario (single family site with lots of pics). Works
very well and I haven't had any problems, except for that yum maxes out the
CPU (Amd Duron/750) occasionally.
This is a stationary computer, and an old one at that. Portables however have
a history of being slower generally (especially older ones), so you might want
to inform us on what other hw you have in yours.
XFCE is nice, fast and slick. Good choice. You might want to shut down most
daemons you don't have a need for.
I've been running CentOS 5 on a P3/500 with 256M as well (It's a Best
Okechobee). Works fine, but some hardware might need some tweaking. I run X,
Gnome, Firefox and OpenOffice et all on this one. CentOS even found my obscure
noname USB-to-Ethernet adapter too! This machine runs fine and I haven't run
into anything strange or difficult to resolve. Life is good.

Yes.
Are you running all of the gss services?
Is portmap running?
Did you uncomment the SECURE_NFS="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/nfs?
Was your kerberos principal created with:
"addprinc -randkey -e des-cbc-md5:normal nfs/server.domain.com"
Was your keytab entry created with:
"ktadd -e des-cbc-md5:normal nfs/server.domain.com"
Do you have gss/krb5p just before the nfs options in parentheses?
Hope this helps.

Did you add the options crossmnt,fsid=0 to the top level nfs export? The fsid=0
might not be needed, but I'm pretty sure the crossmnt is needed.

I have been running FC 3 and now CentOS 5.1 on an old Gateway 2000 with
only 256MB RAM. Both installed with GUI. Only some editing of services.
I have 1 Gig of swap. I currently have 1 instance of emacs, Evolution,
CDDBSlave2, Firefox 2.0.0.12 and 2 Gnome terminals plus a whole lot of
services running most of which I *hope* I don't need. Screen refresh is
slow but not too much. The machine starts to *really* slow down after
about 15% swap. All I do is logout. Oh, this is my only computer. If
anyone wants to tell me to buy a new one, please send me the money.
Otherwise keep your silence. :-)

This is generally true .. the minor kde or gnome version (that is the 5
in kde-3.5.4 or the 16 in gnome-2.16.0) has never changed in a the same
RHEL version in the past ...
HOWEVER, I have heard that RHEL-6 is a ways off and that RHEL 5.3 will
continue to have major changes, even more pronounced than those in 5.2,
so we will need to wait and see :D

Well one can hope... Personally I would love to see KDE 3.5.9
pulled in as it is a lot more stable and robust then KDE 3.5.4.
KDE 4.0 is still way too immature even for RHEL 6, the interface
still needs a lot of working out, polishing and the icons need to
look more, well less like a child's software system.
I still prefer to use KDE 3.5 and 3.5.9 is definitely the way to
go there.

There is currently no serverCD for CentOS 5.1, but you can install from
just the first CD if that helps. See here:

I grabbed the first CD and tried booting. no luck at this point.
I am trying to install centos i386 on a ebox 2300 unit.
This unit has a vortex86 CPU.
When installing the unit finds the USB cdrom I type "linux text" and it
starts
vlinuz...
init....
Screen goes black and the unit reboots.
I also tried with acpi=off.
Any ideas on getting anaconda to come up on this ebox unit?

Well hopefully the testing of KDE 4 in Fedora 9 will answer the issue of
whether it is ready or not for RHEL6. Also, as RHEL6 is still a way off,
and KDE 4 is developing fast, things _may_ have changed by the time it
is released. But I do agree, atm I'd personally rather see KDE 3.5 included.
The other factor to consider is the long term support issues related to
maintaining KDE 3.5 in RHEL6 given that I _think_ qt3 is already
unsupported.

Sounds like an i586 CPU which is not supported by CentOS 5. You'd
probably have better luck with CentOS 4.

Hi, I just had a couple of questions about nfsnobody.
We run a very large NFS infrastructure based off of a NetApp, and we're
been discussing whether or not it is necessary to have 64 bit nfsnobody
as 4294967294. I understand the reasoning behind this (2^32 - 2 gives
you a max UID), but we're having issues since we run multiple
architectures. The UID doesn't play nice across Solairs, Centos, 32 vs
64bit, etc.
Are there any obvious security risks or problems with using nfsnobody as
65534 (2^16 - 2) on 64bit, or even just assigning it a random value, 300
for example? I can't see any particular reason for having such a high
number other than to keep it above any possible real UID space.
Also, the NetApp automatically generates quota tables based off of the
highest UID, so obviously this is a *major* problem if suddenly we have
billions of users as far as the NetApp is concerned. Ultimately, we'd
like to just assign it a low value in the range with our other system
account, but we are not sure of the potential risks with NFS etc.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Ralph,
I thought if it is a 586 CPU it should run 386 code right?
So I didnt think there should be an issue there...
I can see not being able to run 586 code on a 386 but the other way
around should be ok.

you won't make it with only 128 MB of RAM...
is the cpu i686 compatible?

Tru,
yes this is the box I am trying to install on...
I dont know if its i686, either way I thought i386 should work. I am I
wrong?
Is it the 128M memory issue? I thought I used to install with that much
- especially in text mode.
Any suggestions.

yes, the i686 has some additionnal instructions that a i586 does not
have. I have no idea about the cpu listed there.
Try C4 with the i586 or i686 (default) version. You will be fixed.
C5 does not support i586 class cpu. There was a thread about it
some days/weeks ago. Not much volonteer to do/support it and the
CentOS team has other priorities ;).

it's below the minimal recommended size (256MB). It may work, I haven't tried.

None of the RHEL branches support any processors that are < i686 for the
i386 arch.
CentOS supports i586 in centOS-3 and CentOS-4 (things not in RHEL) ..
and only i686 in CentOS-2 and CentOS-5 (just like RHEL).
So, NO ... and i586 processor will not run CentOS-5.

doing some research ... this is a pentium mmx compatible chip, which is
i586 ... you can use CentOS-4 on there.

RedHat must be trying to cut some of the costs of backporting. They seem
somewhat more willing to update versions then they used to be.

I have an old Toshiba Tecra laptop with a P3 running 600MHz and 256MB
of memory. I installed CentOS 5.1 with the graphical installer, and
it runs GNOME fairly well. It's slow (compared to my main desktop,
but that's an AMD 64x2 4200+ with 4GB of memory), but I expect that
with an older, slower CPU like this (as opposed to a molasses crawl
/old/ CPU :-). I use OOo 2.4 on it, and that is also slow, but it
runs, and I always use the command line interface whenever I can, but
that's 'cuz I'm more comfortable there, and it works nicely all
around.
YMMV

I just tried my old centos 4.4 i386 disk 1
did "linux text mem=128M" and the same thing.
after vmlinuz.., and initrd... it just resets.
Am I not boot with the correct options to get the 386 kernel and its
trying to use the 686 kernel?

I'm trying to build GNOME (to run a more recent version than 2.16.* on
CentOS 5.1) and I keep running into a lot of rather strange problems.
I'm wondering if this might have something to do with my hybrid 64 and
32 bit general environment, so I want to try a pure 64-bit chroot.
I've never done this before, and I'm not entirely sure how to, and I
didn't see anything particularly on point, either at centos.org or
google. If I missed it, just say where and that should be enough.
Guidelines? Suggestions (other than "go away" or other physically
difficult crudities :-)?
Thanks.

Ever since I upgraded all my systems to CentOS 5.1 I have been
getting reports from users about "all their windows disappearing". A
little digging revealed that they meant all gnome-terminal windows.
Since there is only one gnome-terminal process by default for all
your open terminal windows and tabs, a crash of that process means
losing all your terminal windows. These crashes often (but not
always) occur over night when the system is otherwise idle.
A quick Google search found a problem on Ubuntu related to VTE (the
terminal emulator widget used by gnome-terminal) but not much else of
interest. Has anyone on this list experienced this? I find it hard
to believe I'm the only one. I never saw this issue while running
CentOS 4.X on these systems...

I've seen extreme slow gnome terminals in the past on Cent 5, I even
downgraded the package for the terminal to make it work better.
Never had it close randomly. I have however had applications randomly
close other then the terminal.

How did you upgrade?
I am running CentOS-5 on many workstations that stay on all the time and
I have never had the gnome-terminal crash.
Is it possible that you have older (possibly orphaned) binaries still
installed from the upgrade process?
If this is from a NEW install, then we need more info to help.

Sure enough I had the centos 4 server CD, I looked deaper and got the CD
disk 1 out of my pack
and "i586 text" does a BUNCH more... thanks.
Now I see on the screen that hda is discovered on the IDE interface as a
1 GIG device.
The last 2 lines printed are:
Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown block (8,3)
kernel panic not syncing unable to mount root.
What do I do with that?
Everything above that looks normal as detect PS/2 etc...

Probably the best thing to do is to use mock to build in.
You provide it with some repos and it automatically creates a chroot to
build things.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock
That has some instructions, though you should be able to yum install mock.

that bug entry does say to use the upstream bug for info about a

I don't think this is possible since I reformatted the root partition
(I only have /, /boot, and /scratch partitions in addition to a swap
partition).

The process ends without leaving a trace unfortunately (at least that
I can find). I did have an strace running on one system attached to
the gnone-terminal process and it finally died after 5 days or so.
Here are the last 20 lines from the log:

fstat64(27, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=37949, ...}) = 0

Is there a better way than strace to get some information on this crash?

It must be either the hardware or a bad disc as I just did a quick install in
vmware with 128 Mgs of ram and it went OK.

Did you see the added note?
I quote:
"For the benefit of those who do not have access to the upstream
bugzilla report, this bug has been fixed in the updated 5.2 kernel
(version number 2.6.18-92.el5), and this kernel also contains the

Is that the kernel to be released with 5.2?

yes ... and we have it built already ... but I am not sure everything
else that might need to go with it. module-init-tools and mkinitrd are
also upgrades so those for sure
But rather than releasing pieces, I would think that using the older
kernels on ipsec machines would be best for a couple weeks.

Is it possible you have some kind of time-out set, like an idle time
cut-off? If it's only happening at night, this might explain it.
I have Seamonkey crashes and strange behavior related to nautilus
windows when I try to open Netowrk Connections, but I've never seen or
heard of anything like this.

Last time I did something like this was with the beta 5 release. In that
case I removed the box version and installed globally. Going that
direction, the per-user config files seemed to hold as normal. Once I
discovered that the needed Java app wouldn't work, I uninstalled the
beta, reinstalled box-stock.
Again, no config issues.
Before everybody beats me like a rented mule, there was no risk to other
users - I'm it, just with different logons. So I felt comfortable with
picking up the pieces if it broke and did not grab one of my other
machines for testing.

Thanks Tru and Johnny, one more question. Can I just use the
centos5-testing repo, ie, yum enablerepoxxx install kernel-vm? I ask
because I tried and while it worked it loaded an older kernel. Should I
just go to tru's directory and install the RPM directly? Also, ok more than
one question, are the open-vm-tools in the same repo or only found in
Johnny's testing directory. Thanks again...

This looks interesting, but unfortunately you cut the message too
short to know what it was saying... You might find it in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I wouldn't bet on that.
> Is there a better way than strace to get some information on this crash?
strace seems fine, just use some options to enhance the output you get:
-s 1024: take 1024 bytes for every string. This wouldn't have cut that one short
-tt: if you want timestamps
-f: to follow forked processes
I almost always call strace like this:
$ strace -f -tt -s 1024 -o /tmp/strace_PROCESSNAME.$$ PIDOFTHEPROCESS
Try to do it again and you might find out what gnome-terminal was
trying to tell you.

Try ~/.xsession-errors, that's a more likely place to find the error message.

"Perfect"? No, but usable. We've got a cluster of 4 systems attached
to a fibre-channel-based SAN running CentOS 4 and the Cluster Suite
components with multiple instances of the Oracle database. It actually
works pretty well and fails over nicely in the case of exceptions. It
is moderately complex to set up, but the information needed REALLY IS in
the docs... you just have to REALLY read them!
We haven't tried CentOS 5 and the new cluster components as Oracle only
supports the version of the database we're running on Red Hat EL4.
Given that, the combination looks a bit more "finished" than the
versions in EL4.
Another alternative that we are examining is using OCFS2 (Oracle Cluster
File System 2) and iSCSI for the shared storage with Heartbeat for
service management. This combination looks to be a bit "lighter" than
the Cluster Suite and GFS, but I'm hoping to confirm or disprove that
impression this summer in my "copious free time".
As usual, you mileage may vary.

Just use openbsd. We cannot expect Linux to rule everything. Use what
best fits the job.

Not sure about FC6, but in both CentOS 4 & 5 there is an ip6tables. I
haven't used it, but I'm assuming that you can build rules just like
you do with iptables.

My dd-wrt web page has a IPv6 checkbox, but don't know what it does. i am
shunning IPv6 bc securing the private side of a NAT is hard enough.
Securing IPv6 seems much much much tougher.

The OP is not saying there is no ipv6 netfilter support. He said that
there is no ipv6 state netfilter module or something like that.

I downloaded the tar file from Mozilla and placed it under my home Dir. Seems
to be working fine presently. After some more tests if there are no issues
I'll replace 1.5 with 2.0. Thank for your help.

I've done all this + add princs for the host. (tested with ds and
ds.example.lan)
I get this error:

afaik, a windows client can be told to support an offline share thats on
a samba serrver, as the offline feature involves client side caching of
the files.
I seriously doubt the samba client for unix would know how to do offline
files, however.

Do you mean caching files coming from a Windows/SMB share to your CentOS
box ?
Nothing does that but you can write a rsync script if needed ... but
attention to the way rsync will synchronize .. or use unison ?

Hi Les,
Everything under http://people.centos.org/tru/ is signed for testing and
feedback before it can be built by the CentOS build systems and
enter either the regular testing repository or their final destination.
You can look at it as alpha release ;).
Cheers,
Tru
