I downloaded 5 or more versions of the same rpm of some software (for instance all the kernel packages, openoffice stuff in three versions) because there were two months or so between my first retrieval and the second (as I didn't have time to continue earlier) So, somewhere, someone is cleaning out the mirrors of old stuff. Now, an argument for how often this happens might be more like it, but it does happen. Ah, well, so the CentOS 5 updates repo hasn't been "cleaned" yet? In that case they didn't clean it since starting it. From looking at the CentOS 4 repo's it looks like they don't clean, though. Repos get "automatically" cleaned when moving over from x.1 to x.2 etc. So, when 5.1 arrives the repo will have been cleared by then and start anew. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining that they keep all those files. There may be good reasons to do so, I don't know. I merely wanted to see if I can do something from my side to avoid getting it all. Apparently, I can avoid it when regularly downloading by specifying a timelimit, but I can't avoid getting it all when I start a mirror (unless I use a filelist). Kai Why don't you want to keep old updates? What if you need to roll back because of some bad bug introduced in the latest version? The you have to go back to get either the original or the update that came before the version you have. And also, don't say mirror if you don't want to have the same packages. Just say you want to create a new repository containing some of the packages from the centos mirror. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility - mini-pci wireless card 1390
Is there any way I can find a driver and/or get the above wireless card working in CentOS 5 on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1501). I've installed ipw2200 from RPMForge, but it now appears that this won't work because the card is not an Intel PRO/Wireless card. Dell seem to support only MS Windows Vista now so I don't think there's much chance of getting a driver from them - so am I on a fruitless 'crusade' in trying to get wifi in CentOS 5 in this case? Any helpful advice much appreciated please? I have a Dell laptop that I believe has the same card. The CentOS 5 kernel did not appear to support it, but the RHEL 5.1 (and subsequently upon its release) the CentOS 5.1 kernel does support it. You will need to drop the firmware into /lib/firmware .. I believe this is a bcm43xx card. Barry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Not sure it is easy to find ntfs module with read-write enable for your centos. - Other way, install vmware-server (that's free and not too difficult to install) and install a winxp on it, then from this virtual-machine, repair your native XP partition. Or maybe just configure a virtual disk AND mount your physical drive as a secon drive and then boot this dual drive virtual machine with the original XP CD and try to repair it that way without install XP for real. - OR find (google) what is wrong with your partition table (if this is the problem).

I downloaded BartPE on this side of the box (CentOS 5), but I couldn't unzip it in Linux. I moved it over to our Windows ME box and unzipped it there. Since I cannot start WinXP on this box, I can't run BartPE on this box at this time. I was hoping BartPE would ask me to let it read the WinXP files from the CD (on the WinME box), but no joy. This is the only box we have that has WinXP on it and it is crippled. From what it said on the site for BartPE, I was hoping it would permit me to make the CD on our WinME box: >4.

[CentOS] Launching X-Windows at different runelvels
Hi all,
I need to launch X-Windows at runlevel 4 and 5. CentOS only start up x-windows
at runlevel by default. I have modified /etc/inittab to accomplish this:
x:4:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
But this returns errors every time that start and stop system ... Which is the
correct form to launch x-windows under centos at different runlevels??
Many thanks.

[CentOS] Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility - mini-pci wireless card 1390
Is there any way I can find a driver and/or get the above wireless card working in CentOS 5 on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1501). I've installed ipw2200 from RPMForge, but it now appears that this won't work because the card is not an Intel PRO/Wireless card. Dell seem to support only MS Windows Vista now so I don't think there's much chance of getting a driver from them - so am I on a fruitless 'crusade' in trying to get wifi in CentOS 5 in this case? Any helpful advice much appreciated please? Thanks, Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [centos] dual boot box: winxp & centos 5: impossible to restorewinxp? -- antair restored
Have you disconnected all your usb hardware before trying the repair? I've repaired my box more times than I can count and the only time I've seen lots of hdd activity is when I had some weird hardware attached.

TIA! Hi I remember a got this problem multiple time. The XP CD (and also self made autoinstall CD) was refusing to boot if the HD was allready partitioned with an "incompatible" fdisk tool. It was usually on test machine and I had not problem doing a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 and then reinstall all the machine from scratch, or if the installed OS were important then I used some imaging or backup tools. But the reset of the partition was mandatory. You could try to use the very powerful BartPE live CD do restore your DLL. > -- > Lanny > - > Over 800 Magazine titles up to 85% off > http://lowcostmagazines.com/ > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Correctly displaying different charsets in Gnome-Terminal
Niki Kovacs a écrit : Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.0 with GNOME on almost all my desktops. My system is in french, so the default charset ($LANG) is fr_FR.UTF-8. I'm in charge of our public library database server, running Debian Sarge. It's mainly running a LAMP server with a few extra PHP modules, and it's hosting our library management software. Since the app refuses to work correctly with UTF-8, I set the general system locale on the server to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ISO-8859-1). When I administrate that server remotely from, say, a desktop running Slackware (which defaults to ISO, not Unicode), characters in the console get displayed correctly. For example, 'less /root/ChangeLog.txt' will display my ChangeLog file (with french special characters) correctly. But when I open an SSH session on my CentOS machine in a GNOME Terminal, the french special characters are all replaced by inverted question marks. And the same goes for the MySQL monitor: all the french characters in the entries (é, à, ç, ù, ...) are incorrectly displayed. Q: how can I display all that correctly from within my Gnome Terminal? 's OK, I just found out. I blanked out the menu, and the right-click menu leaves some items out. cheers, Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
