Re: [CentOS-docs] Contribute to the Wiki
The current wiki says that you need to install the dkms and dkms-fuse packages, but it is missing key instructions: 1) how-to fix the yum older kernel version dependency issue and 2) how-to configure, make, and install the fuse kernel module. The reason for all this is that I have a CentOS 5.3 LiveCD that cannot connect to the internet via a public WIFI hotspot (missing iwl3945 ucode) and cannot mount a NTFS filesystem. All of the necessary files (wget URL's), scripts, and instructions have been tested and are ready to be posted. --- On Thu, 6/25/09, centos-docs-requ...@centos.org wrote: Message: 2 Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:03:18 +0200 From: Ralph Angenendt Subject: Re: [CentOS-docs] Contribute to the Wiki To: centos-docs@centos.org Message-ID: <20090625100318.gq14...@br-online.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" John Greiman wrote: > JohnGreiman > Mount NTFS partitions from within CentOS > ?

As I said, not on the page about installing (totally) from USB key. Is it different from what is linked from the release notes? http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.3 https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/ImageFlash > > Phil, I do not have the script that I once had that automated the USB > partition and format.

I'm still trying to find time to test the procedure and do some more work on the page. Both work and family situations have been quite busy of late.

A combination would probably be ideal - agree on an approach on-list then proceed with Wiki editing. > Do you like the idea of suggesting the LiveCD image rather than the net > install? Lots of advantages and no disadvantages that I can think of. . . Not quite sure where that's coming from. This Wiki page is specifically target at people who need to install from USB without a network. As far as disadvantages of the LiveCD - it's a lot to download if you only want to do a netinstall, so both options could be mentioned wherever it is discussed/recommended. > Re testing, I've just been keeping a log as I actually try things out. > > Re slipstreaming, search on NOVI + repository, there's a good set of > articles hosted on ORA.

That would be of interest, and as I said earlier, seems a good candidate for a separate Wiki article. Phil P.S. Would be nice if you used an email client that handled quoting properly in replies. ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Also, the description on the planet.c.o. site: "This site aggregates blogs of CentOS contributors. If you would like to have your blog added, drop daniel at centos dot org a note." will have to be updated. It still says "CentOS contributors". I believe that's what Daniel had in mind when he first set it up. Akemi ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Hey, It's probably better to remove my RSS feed from Planet CentOS because I will still write about CentOS (and tag those articles centos) but not as a team member. And if it is linked on Planet CentOS people may still think I am communicating as a CentOS team member, which I prefer to avoid. -- -- dag wieers, d...@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
