We do use kickstart configuration file to customize the CentOS installation. In the partitioning screen, I do see a check box for encryption (encrypting the disk blocks).
I want to remove this checkbox in my kickstart configuration file. What is the option to use to get rid of this checkbox.
I'm trying to setup a kickstart server to install CentOS over the network. The server is using pxegrub, and the relevant menu entry is:
title Kickstart CentOS 5 x86_64
kernel /kickstart/vmlinuz initrd=/kickstart/initrd.img ks=http://192.168.1.250/kickstart/prototype.ks text
when I go to download 11.3 I am presented with the installation medium for a DVD installation with a button that says download DVD. Should there be an option to download an ISO option for a CD installation on this page along with the DVD version? Some of our older machines can only read CD's with a max size of 500+ megs.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to disable the option to format a hard drive on the drop down menu in computer. The reason being is that it is too close to the safely remove hardware option. I have one drive with about 15 years of stuff on it that I just use as a backup, and I don't want to accidentally hit the wrong button. What I was thinking of doing is going to that section of code and commenting that line out (that way I can just uncomment it if I want to format with the GUI tool). where can I find the code for that module?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I had decided to install debian but I thought I couls do it by myself without anything which I was wrong about, because I wound up installing Debian on my C: drive/windows partition. So far nothing has been bad and I am still running windows but now my C: drive has been renamed to "Install Debian GNU/Linux" I know the name doesn't mean shit but I'm curious why every time I go to change it it auto changes back. Also now every time it boots up it asks me to choose between UNetbootin, which i uninstalled, and windows. how do i get rid of the option to remove unetbootin even though I uninstalled the program. Same with Debian I deleted everything i could find but it still changes the drive name, how to fix any of this and might there be files I haven't found where would they be located?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was checking out wine and installed ms office 2007 in it. But I ended up deciding (for the Windows programs that I needed to use, and the context in which I need them) to just install XP in a VirtualBox machine and use all my Windows programs there (not very many). So, I uninstalled wine and I did all of this that is recommended in the wine faq (to completely remove everything):
rm -rf $HOME/.wine
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
However, I now have an annoying issue. Microsoft office programs are the default opener of office documents. And since the programs no longer exist, this causes a problem. How can I remove the option to "Open With Microsoft Office ..." so that OpenOffice is the default?
I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. I've created two user accounts, one for admin purposes and the other for standard users. At boot up, I have the option to pick one of the created accounts or select "automatic login." When I select automatic login, it logs me into the admin account. I've double checked that the "don't ask for password" option is not selected on either account.
The only thing unusual that I did was select the "don't ask for password" option during the install, and then later (after the install was complete) decided that's not what I wanted and unchecked it.
I need to accomplish one of two things. Either change it so the auto login applies to the standard user account, or remove the auto login option from the login screen altogether.
Somehow the -D option got tacked on to my sshd when I start up. How do I remove the -D option when sshd is started at boot? I'm guessing I need to edit something in /etc/init.d but not sure what. I checked System->Preferences->Startup Applications and the ssh server daemon isn't listed there. And since it is a command line option /etc/ssh/sshd_config is of no help.

Originaly I had Win7 and Ubuntu (Ub) set up OK in dual boot. The Ub was on a seperate drive in its own partition - then the darn drive failed. Without reinstalling Uu I still get it as an option in the dual boot menu. If I do reinstall Ub I end up with a 2nd Ub option. How can I get the boot menu to show Win7 only, so that I can re-install Ub with only 1 entry in the boot table?
I have tried using bootrec.exe from the command line in Win7 recovery mode but that does not fix things.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI used Ubuntu customization kit to "build" my own Ubuntu. It works as a charm. Completely recommended.
I install that custom ubuntu 10.04 on a 2gb pendrive, using usb-creator-gtk and it worked also good.
The only thing is bodering me, is when I boot that pendrive, it appear a window asking if I want to install the OS or if I want to use it live.
How can I remove that window on boot?

I'm running CentOS 5.4 on a Dell Xeon PowerEdge 1850. I want to back up an RHEL 4x web/mail server, 2 WinXP workstations, and 2 Ubuntu desktops....and I want them to go to my Dell LTO2 tape drive. What are my best options? I want a series of incremental daily backups and then a different series of weekend full backups.
I should have clarified that this is all in a small office LAN environment and that the RHEL web & mail server is another PowerEdge 1850 that is co-located with the CentOS server (same rack).
Is there an easy way to change just one option in the kernel? I need to set something from =M to =N I tried installing the kernel source rpm according to the centos wiki site, then changing the .config, make oldconfig etc. but the always build always fails.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSince I plugged in and then unplugged in the firewire port a video camera, I have a note in the bottom-right corner of one of the desktops. It says 'libieee1284-3".
It's not a serious problem at all, I can live with it, but if there was a way to remove this yellow square from my pretty desktop I would like to hear about it .
I tried clicking and right clicking on it; it does nothing except I can access a tiny menu with - apparently - enlarge, refresh and configure buttons. Only the configure button (a spanner) does something, it opens a "configure" box which does not have a "remove" or "delete" option. Rebooting does not remove it.

View 8 Replies View Relatedi am trying to use CentOS as well. I know many things are same. But i am getting stuck at one place where I am trying to enable support of JFS during installation at the boot option like we can do in FC.But i am unable to edit boot option. For my fedora system i used to do it in this way.The first installation screen is showing me options those i can edit by pressing Tab and then i can edit the line where i add 'jfs' and it starts appearing in the drop down menu of filesystem during setting up partitions on hard disk.
given same in kernel parameter by pressing f4 but jfs does not appear in the drop down menu during partitioning of disk.
Following situation:
I'm trying to make a network-installation of my rootserver with CentOS 5.4 x86_64.
This server is hosted by 1and1 a company of the united internet group, which is a big player in europe.
The network environment of 1and1 is providing classless static routes via dhcp by using the dhcp option 121.
If i'm right anaconda does not support this dhcp option 121 and therefore does not "ask" for the routes.
Without the routes configured the traffic does not get through and the network installation fails.
An installation from fedora12 (anaconda 12.46) works without any problems.
Is there someone in the dev team that can patch or backport it?
I have an issue with the DHCP clients in a lab environment I am building. The lab is in a dns subdomain but the clients should be able to resolve any machine in the lab subdomain or the parent by using just the hostname. According to everything I have read, the client resolver should do this automagically, trying first the naked hostname, then the FQDN, then walking up the tree of parent domains. But it doesn't.
So I thought I'd just have the dhcp server set the domain search list to include both the local and parent domain. But adding "option domain-search" to dhcpd.conf causes dhcpd to fail on start up. Does the current version of dhcpd in CentOS 5.3 really not support this option?
The only options I have are to install via the web, how do I add the cd drive to xen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using 2 cloned disks with CentOs5.3 and I need to be able to control which one is booted. I can specify which disk in the BIOS but after stage 2 it is always running from disk 2. When I have puppy linux on one disk and CentOs on the other I can boot off of either as selected by the system BIOS so the BIOS is not the issue. I think it is how the root option is passed in the kernel command in the grub.conf.
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
I think when the OS searches for the /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 share is locates 2 since the disks are clones and uses the last one found. On information I have found for the kernel command and the root option it appears CentOs uses it differently. CentOs uses a volume name as specified /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 instead of a partition designator /dev/hda2. Is there a different way to specify /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 in CentOS for the root option for the kernel command of grub.conf?
