Ummm. 

Is that *one* point up there? Is that different from the how to mount
ntfs article already on the wiki?

 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.

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.

 Thanks for the offer Phil. Sorry I'm a noob to the process, specifically 
 how do you suggest we work together on this documentation? Are you 
 proposing we email back and forth, and if so, do you mean here within 
 the list or privately?
 
 If the CentOS wiki works like others, I'd think the most efficient way 
 would be to just give me edit access and then you can feel free to 
 edit/re-organize my contributions as you see fit. I'd be happy to start 
 off with the structure you've suggested, but I'm sure you/we'll want to 
 tweak it as we move forward and I've no problem with that.

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. My notes on maintaining a local repository and 
 building custom/slipstreamed installation ISOs are pretty well 
 fleshed-out now if you could suggest a location for them I'd be happy to 
 post them.

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.

 You two guys/gals there is a script available to do the Live CD to USB
 Stick Install and also a GUI Application Frontend to it also.
 
 That is if you two are interested in including that.

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 think I could cobble something together though
 that would maybe suffice. I have found that using the ISO to DVD
 conversion script to not have corruption in any way like the regular
 downloadable DVD. That is when it is transfered to a USB Stick.
 

Any help appreciated.  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.

Re: [CentOS-docs] Contribute to the Wiki

2009-06-25 Thread John Greiman
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.
