  if I delete older versions of init-rd*, vmlinuz*, do I need to do anything
  else after deleteting the older files ?

 
 Do
 
  rpm -qa | grep kernel
 
 then do:
 
  yum erase kernel-XYZ
 
 of the older ones. Do not delete the files in boot directly
 as you stuff up your rpm database and yum WILL get confused


First, you really should not be running 55.0.2, or whatever. That's a 
kernel from Centos 5.2, which is ancient. So the first thing to do is
schedule a reboot.

Then do the following:

  rpm -qa 'kernel*'

  # Decide a set of versions to delete e.g. the 67.x.y releases
  rpm -qa 'kernel*' | grep -- -67

  # Confirm that list contains only what you want to delete, and then:
  rpm -qa 'kernel*' | grep -- -67 | xargs rpm -e


You can use yum for the last step if you prefer, but it doesn't add any value
for kernel removes, and it's slower.

  
Cheers,
Gavin

[SLUG] nzb program

2010-02-09 Thread Lee Isaacson
Hi there,

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and I am looking for a program to download nzb
files similar to grab it for windows. I have tried to install hellanzb
but the file stays at 0. Do I need to look at another distro or is
there another application that works better?

I hope that someone can help me.

Regards,
Lee

Hi,

Try sabnzbdplus. It has a web interface, so it runs in the background, 
but it works really well.

Sounds like a hellanzb configuration problem. I have installed it on
multiple machines running 9.10 and it works great.

Depends on how complex you want your setup (which is probably in correlation to 
how often you grabs things using NZB files).

From a less-frequent use case, I use the text-based tool nzbget 
(http://nzbget.sourceforge.net/).
For a GUI application, I believe Pan (http://pan.rebelbase.com/) is supporting 
NZB files nowadays.
