CentOS

Do this:

rpm -qi pkgname | grep Source

where pkgname is the package you're looking for the source for.

From there, look for the src.rpm in mirrors: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.1/os/SRPMS/ (assuming you use 5.1; if not, replace 5.1 with your version)

This greatly depends on your physical network layout. Are both cards assigned an internal IP, and are you mapping an external IP to one of them? Or are you actually assigning one card an external IP, and the other an internal IP?

What is the output of "cat /etc/fstab" and "df" on the dom0 server?

Hardware dependencies live in kernel drivers. For the most part you're probably OK. Just go ahead and boot your current installation on the new hardware. If a particular device isn't working, make sure kudzu is set to start on boot (chkconfig kudzu on) and reboot. If kudzu doesn't run and prompt you...

In your centos filesystem, make sure you have the /dev directory, and go into that directory. If you don't have the "null" and "console" files, run this:

mknod null c 1 3
mknod console c 5 1

If this is the case, just read the "man yum.conf" page and use the "exclude" option on your mirror's yum configurtion to ignore internet updates for that list of packages.

The default initrd uses nash because it's small and does the job of loading modules, mounting filesystems, after which the kernel executes the real /sbin/init. You can put any executable you want in it's place, even a full fledged version of bash (either compiled static, or with all the correct libs...

Hi all, I about fell out of my chair when I saw this thing spring up. I manage a few shell "gateway" servers with many non-root users on them, with a CentOS 5 machine. I then took a deep breath after the exploit didn't work on my machines :) I'm using grsecurity-2.1.11, built with the 2.6.23.14 kern...

Hello, I've done RHEL / CentOS kickstart builds for a while, and finally decided to make a customized linux distribution based off of CentOS 5 for the control panel project I've been working on for the past few years. Basically an ISO image to burn to a CD to autoinstall the OS with everything neede...
