somian[1]_So sometimes people connect to a remote server and mount this (DVD) .iso locally on a loopback mount?
`LonlyBoyhttpd dead but subsys locked <---- this sucks.
somian[1]_Pretty advanced stuff.
ivazquezWell, 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.
ivazquezInstalling over a local network can be faster than from media.
somian[1]_i SEE
ivazquezAnd 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.
jokerLeefixed ;o)
Evolutionsomian[1]_: same release notes for all.
ivazquezInstead 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.
ivazquezThere 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 ....
ivazquezOr 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.
jokerLeeEvolution, ivazquez & evil_steve thanks for your help on my issue ;o)
onicromah ha does anyone know what the DAG repo is?
is it available for centOS 5?
Evolutiononicrom: 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_stevesomian[1]_: it's an Enterprise Distro, it's not suitable for Every Tom Dick and Harry
onicromDAG == RPMFORGE
?
jokerLeeanother problem: i have a small subnet and my eth1:1 - eth1:4 doesnt load properly when booting, any suggestions what i should check for ?
z00daxsomian[1]_: exactly what is your problem ?
Evolutiononicrom: dag and others, yes.
onicromperfect thanks
`LonlyBoyAnyone have any other ideas?
HAIDENhas anyone done multipathing through mdadm multipathing?

`LonlyBoyhmmm maybe I'll uninstall apache and reinstall.
