| somian[1]_ | So sometimes people connect to a remote server and mount this (DVD) .iso locally on a loopback mount? |
| `LonlyBoy | httpd dead but subsys locked <---- this sucks. |
| somian[1]_ | Pretty advanced stuff. |
| ivazquez | Well, they loopback mount it on a remote system then select it as their install source. |
| somian[1]_ | Seems to me this is an example of notes that create more confusion than they dispel. |
| ivazquez | Installing over a local network can be faster than from media. |
| somian[1]_ | i SEE |
| ivazquez | And certainly more convenient than dragging sets of discs everywhere. |
| somian[1]_ | Sure, makes sense But, ivazquez, there's no sets of discs involved here at all. There's one disc. |
| jokerLee | fixed ;o) |
| Evolution | somian[1]_: same release notes for all. |
| ivazquez | Instead you drop in a mini-CD into every machine with a kickstart configuration, walk away, and come back 1h later to find a few dozen machines set up. |
| somian[1]_ | Ahh! Bad choice, but I see now. |
| ivazquez | There is a set if the machines don't have a DVD drive. |
| somian[1]_ | There's not a set for me, if my initial question had actually been read .... |
| ivazquez | Or if you're lucky enough to have machines that support PXE all you need to do is just start them up. |
| somian[1]_ | Of course that would probably be too much work ... |
| ivazquez | "Older methods using CDroms and unions..." |
| somian[1]_ | To actually try to understand the context that user is experiencing confusion in ... it is so much easier to assume cluelessness, makes our time on IRC far more satisfying. |
| jokerLee | Evolution, ivazquez & evil_steve thanks for your help on my issue ;o) |
| onicrom | ah ha does anyone know what the DAG repo is? is it available for centOS 5? |
| Evolution | onicrom: wiki.centos.org/Repositories/ yes. |
| somian[1]_ | And heaven know we would not want installation of CentOS to be user-friendly, my god, then every Tom Dick and Harry would be running it, and our geek cred would be down the loo. |
| evil_steve | somian[1]_: it's an Enterprise Distro, it's not suitable for Every Tom Dick and Harry |
| onicrom | DAG == RPMFORGE ? |
| jokerLee | another problem: i have a small subnet and my eth1:1 - eth1:4 doesnt load properly when booting, any suggestions what i should check for ? |
| z00dax | somian[1]_: exactly what is your problem ? |
| Evolution | onicrom: dag and others, yes. |
| onicrom | perfect thanks |
| `LonlyBoy | Anyone have any other ideas? |
| HAIDEN | has anyone done multipathing through mdadm multipathing? |
| onicrom | i have |
| `LonlyBoy | hmmm maybe I'll uninstall apache and reinstall. |
| HAIDEN | onicrom, any benefits to that over device-mapper-multipath? |
| onicrom | its been a while and i dont have physical access to the box right now |
| z00dax | somian[1]_: ? |
