| huslage | oh well. off to some other distro i guess. |
| eureka | I've never install centos using a floppy, is it even possible? |
| range | eureka: Not since 4, as the kernel doesn't fit on a floppy anymore. |
| eureka | can I use the floppy to boot and then continue using samba or nfs |
| foo_bar | nope. You can boot over lan, cdrom, usb stick. |
| eureka | usb stick is an option? |
| somian | Generally most Live-CD releases now can be run from a USB stick provided the BIOS supports it, with a little bit of work. |
| plarsen | Is there any difference between the 5.0 and 5 release on the CentOS distribution? |
| orc_orc | plarsen: all .X are in teh same release series - new pachages and substitutions will creep in but they will be minimal |
| VSlaw | Hawn xhat li u hbib ma xi op ta chanell ta Malta |
| orc_orc | API will stay compatible for the 7 years |
| plarsen | orc_orc: So does it make a difference which one I install from? |
| orc_orc | plarsen: no |
| plarsen | orc_orc: thanks |
| orc_orc | plarsen: np |
| VSlaw | any one have centos as web hosting |
| plarsen | I tried to run CentOS 5.0 64bit on VMware ESX 3.0.1; seems there may be some kernel issues? The CPU failed and the box hung for long times; basically making the system inoperable. i386 works without any hickup. |
| range | Isn't that rather a vmware question? |
| daskreech | I have a quick question about thePXE boot configuration |
| pack | NO! NO QUESTIONS! ONLY IDLE! |
| action | Evolution smacks pack |
| Evolution | smacks pack |
| daskreech | the example file have a mac address do I really HAVE to get the ac addresses for all the machines? |
| pack | daskreech: no you don't |
| Evolution | daskreech: you can set a default image to use. |
| daskreech | Evolution: Is there an example page that you could point me to? |
| somian | VSlaw: www.centos.org -- many many ads there. |
| pack | daskreech, the idea is you put in a set of mac addresses or a mac address with a wild card in it to boot one image and then have another set of mac addresses that can boot another image. I've always just used menu.c32 and worked it interactively daskreech, This covers alot of it http://greenfly.org/talks/pxe/pxe-magic.html and this http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PXE/PXE_Setup |
