It doesn't nest. Whoops your M$ heritage is showing. On Linux "per-user" values are usually stored in individual configuration files located in their users' ~ (/home/) directories - not in a single, fragile and all-embracing nightmare called The Windoze Registry. Linux is much more logical and user-friendly. Hence the existence of simple configuration files capable of containing copious configuration hints and explanations - something omitted from the XML monstrosity. :-) Centos is like a hot sunny day - a true joy to experience. -- Paul.

[CentOS] RHEL/CentOS 7 Dual boot with CentOS 5.x/6.x - default boot quick solution/howto
I have RHEL 7 Beta installed in dual boot with CentOS 6.x. Since RHEL 7 installed GRUB2, I had problem that RHEL 7 is default boot. My personal solution was to go to /etc/grub.d and run command: mv 10_linux 31_linux grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Explanation: - /etc/grub.d is where grub2 writes down config files used to create boot menu. - OS-prober creates 30_os-prober file in /etc/grub.d - 10_linux is created for RHEL/CentOS 7.x system installed. If you change order of files in /etc/grub.d (numbers at the start of the files) the list generated with grub2-mkconfig will change order in the GRUB2 menu :) Fedora/RHEL 7.x have a changed GRUB2 so for further reading read: 5.3 Multi-boot manual config: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Multi_002dboot-manual-config and Fedora GRUB Wiki: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GRUB_2 -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Changing isolinux/splash.jpg on custom ISO
Hi all, I know I've done this in the past, but I can't seem to get it working today... I want to roll my own ISO and use custom splash.jpg. If I roll the ISO with the stock splash.jpg, it works. When I save my own 800x600 .jpg as splash.jpg though, I get a black screen. I made sure the permissions and ownership was the same. Is there a special way that the JPG has to be save for it to be used?

The procedure I know is: - Create a full color PNG image (holding your own graphic design) - Create an indexed image of 16 colors based on your full color PNG image? - Transform the indexed image into LSS format using the correct order of colors. The LSS format is what isolinux finally reads, not the PNG image. If the order of colors is not the same in both the indexed image and the LSS image, the final result may not be displayed as you expect. There is some automation around this at: - https://git.centos.org/blob/sig-core!artwork.git/1200298db99597c567f0e06131941b48aae3f8da/Scripts!Modules!Render!Modules!Files!Modules!Palette!palette.sh Best Regards, al. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well, I don't have CentOS/RHEL to try this on here, but when I type "gconf-editor" at the command line, I get something much like Windows Registry Editor. WRT user configurations, I only used users as an example. Your configuration file format is not useful in an application that requires a nested configuration. Linux is much more logical and user-friendly.

Each and every configuration has its own format of configuration file (eg sudoers) which you have to learn. XML is a monstrocity, I agree.

(eg /etc/init.d). However I do find grub2's configuration a little confusing. Nothing new there. It'll sink in sometime, no doubt.
