I am running CentOS 5.5 and I want to create a boot CD so that if my boot partition is moved I can still boot from the boot CD and re-initialize grub again. Is there some easy to use utility which will enable me to do this ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a CentOS based liveCD that mounts a NFS share and executes one script there. The NFS never mounts altough while logged I can mount it with the very same command that I use in the KS.
In the %post I have :
%post --log=/tmp/post.log --erroronfail
mkdir /mnt/nfs
mount -o nolock 10.23.1.1:/csc/RemoteHome /mnt/nfs
I added the --log in order to debug, but nothing is written in /tmp/post.log. I tried redirection on the mount command with >> /tmp/debug.log but this is not written. Maybe during the post sequence /tmp is RO ? Anyway, I tried with ifup lo, service portmap start in the %post, but doesnt change (I even have a service : command not found in the live cd creator output).

I have a Dell laptop with Windows XP installed, and for various reasons (Help: I borked my WindowsXP boot when installing OpenSUSE 11.3) I can not install a GRUB boot loader to the first hard drive (hd0).
I currently have a second hard drive in this laptop with a perfectly working OpenSUSE 11.3 instance, but no way to boot into it. I remember back in ancient times, a common option with Linux distros was to create a boot floppy to boot into Linux rather than installing GRUB or LILO to MBR. Since this laptop doesn't have a floppy drive I'd like to do the same thing with a USB stick. Is there any way to install GRUB (or something similar) to a USB stick? What I am not asking here is whether I can put a full, bootable Linux instance on a USB drive - I only want a boot loader on USB that launches to the appropriate mount point on (hd1).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a process that seems to be unexpectadly quitting. Checking the messages log I could not find anything out of the ordinary. Would anyone here know how to make a process unkillable or lock a process somehow? I read information on doing this by making a looped iso, however the process im starting requires to be able to read/write to the files in the iso so this is not going to work. For now I just niced the process to top priority but I dont really think that will work. This process is a voice server so I dont want people getting discouraged that the server will not stay up and decide not to use the free service im offering.
Would anyone else have any insight as to what I can do? Im not new to linux but im not familiar enough with how every command is used, so if at all possible please give me the commands that need to be executed.
I would like to create a customized CentOS server, or it will serve me as a server (postfis) postfixadmin, Hylafax, webmail (Roundcube for example) and may be I would integrate suger crm.
If I create it all this server and it runs perfectly. my goal is I create a compilation or for example I install this distrubution and wonder just some configuration (eg IP address or the time just) knowing that by the end of the installation I find hylafax, postfix , and all AC roundecube install it remains for me to set them up! Taking the example of Elastix cd: www.elastix.org/ or it can make all AC (but its main role is the PABX).
I have one static IP, how can i turn it into multiple IPs so i can run multiple games on one machine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a local mirror/repository for CentOS 5.6 for updates and network installs. I have read the page here on the site about how to do it over and over again, and I still can't figure it out. I have already created the directory, but right after that, I can't go any further. I know this is much easier than I probably think it is. Would someone mind telling me, (in beginners terms) on how to do this? I just want the 'os' package and nothing else.

I have been reading about chkconfig and creating a file in /etc/init.d for chkconfig to handle but I cannot seem to get it to work whenever I 'chkconfig servicename on' and then 'service servicename start'

Can someone provide me with a sample of the file I need to create in /etc/init.d and how to get everything running?
Have been playing with Centos 5 and finally got it installed and have done most of the updates. Before I proceed much further it would be nice if I could create a backup/install disc of how it is now. No Data,just the setup and software used etc.Have a dvd rw on the server.I recall mondo rescue installed years ago on a linux server we used.
