[CentOS] Where's v5.3 source RPMs?

2009-04-01 Thread Steve Snyder
It seems that the mirrors are now all sync'd with the binary RPMs, but where are the source packages? The source RPMs are available for the few packages updated since the upstream 5.3 release, but the SRPMS for the release itself are missing. Example: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.3/os/

I would like to create a single installation directory from the DVD1 and DVD2 CentOS 6.1 release DVD images, suitable for network (NFS) installation. If I mount each of the ISO images and copy their files to a single directory, will that work? That is, are the files on each DVD unique such that

In the course of upgrading from CentOS 5.4 to CentOS 5.5 I changed from using the samba (v3.0.x) packages to the samba3x (v3.3.8) packages, mostly because the newer version was said to better support Win7. The Samba server services Linux, WinXP, and Win7 clients. Now I get many, many errors lo

I am running irqbalance with default configuration on an Atom 330 machine. This CPU has 2 physical cores + 2 SMT (aka Hyperthreading) cores. As shown below the interrupt for the eth0 device is always on CPUs 0 and 1, with CPUs 2 and 3 left idle. But why? Maybe irqbalance prefers physical co

How can I completely disable audio drivers and services in my CentOS7 system? This system is a server that will never run any audio applications. The problem is, I can't disable the audio device in my BIOS, so the system finds it in the PCI device list and configures it on each boot. Yes, I
