I get that when I'm using PuTTY with pageant, automatically presenting an ssh key, which the server I'm connecting to doesn't recognise. Maybe something like that?

It means you get to do a graphical install, which you otherwise can't if you don't have enough RAM i.e. less than 652MB. hth Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Or in fact, as someone just pointed out in another thread, make sure you have >652MB of RAM, and then the graphical installer _will_ be used, even under VMware Server 1.0.

The text-based install does not give you a choice of the kind of stuff to install, you just seem to get 'minimal'. I had much better luck after reading through the install guide (here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/index.html ). Booted off the iso, hit and then at the boot prompt: linux vnc. I could then use a VNC client to do the nice graphical install. hth someone Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm running C 5 x86_64 (currently 5.5) on mine. Given it the full 8GB of ECC RAM. I've put the drive it came with (the 160GB) into the optical drive bay, so it now shows as hdb. I've got 4 x 1.5TB in the main slots, showing as sda-sdd. They are hot swap under C 5, with the kernel happily doing whatever it does when a drive is plugged/unplugged. I've got them as a 3 disk ZFS RAID-Z array, with the fourth as a spare, under zfs-fuse. The write perf isn't great, but most access is over Samba and my wireless / distinctly under par gigabit network, so it serves me well. And we love snapshots and all those other lovely ZFS features, so that outweighs anything else. Also running Squeezebox server and an old version of VMware Server, with a couple of VMs (not under ZFS - that would be too slow). Looking forward to C 6! Glad to hear that SL 6 works OK.

[CentOS] CentOS 5.5 x64, HP ProLiant Microserver and eSATA
Hello all. Not sure how many people here also frequent the CentOS forums, so apologies for the 'cross post'. I know some here are using CentOS on HP's ProLiant Microserver, so if anyone's tried eSATA on their box, please let me know. Perhaps best to reply over at the forum - https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=31558&forum=39 Thanks Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hi.
As others have mentioned, a simple cat or use of < into xargs will simplify
things. The max-args switch _is_ the one you are
looking for:
--max-args=max-args, -n max-args
Spceifically:
cat gem.list.1 | xargs --max-args=1 sudo gem install
will do what you want, I think - please test it first. You could add
--interactive to xargs to help with this, or even just:
cat gem.list.1 | xargs --max-args=1 echo sudo gem install
which will just dump the commands that would be run (using echo).
