Thanks a lot for your reply. You're right , I was not connected when I first rebooted. I thought about it, and I first thought it could have been something missed because nowdays we are all connected but I was wrong :) I set back firstboot to rerun on reboot, but even if I was connected now, I got the same invitation, so I assumed it was a decision you dev took related to something else. As said before in a previous mail, I am interested in the rebuilding process, and even if I am not a developer or a linux guru, I would be very interested in contributing for what I can. Do you think you could give me a starting point for this? Thanks a lot, have a nice day Johnny Hughes wrote: >On Thu, 2005-04-14 at 10:43 +0200, Simone wrote: > > >>Hi, just installed, CentOS4 from DVD (first CentOS installation), and >>after first reboot as soon as I log in, I receive a "Subscription Alert" >>that tells me to activate my subscription to RHN so to keep my system >>safe.
