View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't understand the difference between installing via the Ubuntu Desktop Edition Windows installer and Live CD. I have an x64 system and I'm switching over from Fedora 14, so I'm specifically looking for whatever will make it easiest for me to neatly clear out the Fedora partition during installation.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhile playing a bit (fdisk) with a new machine (Intel 2 Duo E6750) that I have (with 2 SATA disks), I found a "strange" thing. If I boot the server from a Knoppix distro, fdisk sees 2 scsi HDD devices (sda and sdb). Ok, this was the expected. But if I boot the machine with the centOS 5.2 x86_64, while doing the partitioning the disks are recognized as hda and hdb, that is, IDE disks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat is the difference between the boot.iso and netinstall.iso images? I've looked at the wiki and done some Googling, but haven't found a good answer yet. I know it is probably going to be something obvious, but in the context of installing a Xen fully virtualised guest there doesn't seem to be much difference. After booting both ask for the location of the install tree and proceed happily.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi just finished installing CentOS 5 in my laptop. While I was trying to configure my Wireless network to connect internet, I found a guide in CentOS site which recommended to start "NetworkManger" service so as to setup wireless network. I followed and it Worked great.
But i would like to understand the difference between "Network" service and "NetworkManager" service. I had initially thought restarting "Network" service would help. explaining the basic difference between these 2 services.
I have a system with a missing or damaged kernel and I need to reinstall some software to fix it (see this thread for reference removed xen and kernel is gone). I feel fairly certain I can fix my system with the info in that thread however I don't know if this was a 32bit or 64bit system. How can I tell after using the dvd and linux rescue or does it even matter?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently gained interest in CentOS. So I went to the site to download the OS thought one of the mirrors. I downloaded the i386 version of CentOS 5 LiveCD2.iso and burned it to DVD to install.
When I booted up the disc a screen showing a CentOS background appears then quickly fades to black. After that nothing happens.
Maybe it's the architecture? I'm using a single core AMD64 Athlon.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a live CD of my current CentOS installation. I want it to be almost like a backup, so whenever I want to copy my current installation to another computer I would simply install from my custom live CD.I know this is possible, and I found some resources on the net, but they all seem to only create a minimal version of CentOS; I want to have all the current functionalities available to me at present, including all of my development functionalities, Apache and samba settings, etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just tried Centos 5.2 Live starting from a 2 GB USB flash drive. Everything seems to run fine, fast, stable - except for that the persistent feature is not working. I created the USB from Windows using the Centos 5.2 LiveCD image and the current version of Live USB Creator (3.7), and declared a 256 MB persistent space.
This persistence feature had worked before with Fedora 11 but the system resulted unstable, kernel panic.... Now Centos has been solid for hours in a row... but the file where persistence should be reflected remains untouched with the initial creation timestamp. When rebooting, every change in config, file created etc gets lost.
I've seen some tools available for taking image backups (amanda, bacula, ...) of the O/S. I have a nas drive and want to back up the the entire disk to it (while running preferrably). Can someone recommend what tool would be best to use (free of course) and hopefully not too complex.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using the Centos 5.4 live CD to do volume resizing etc for root volume which can't be readily dismounted. I have also been using it to clone systems. It is a really great tool - even offering the same GUI interface I have come to know and love...One added feature which would be great for me would be to package "nx server" and/or "webmin" with it so it can be used to maintain remote and "headless" servers.
That way - when heavy duty maintenance is required on a remote system - the sysadmin (me) could ask the site owner to boot with the live cd - and do the rest remotely. Also it would make maintenance of headless servers easier.I'm not sure whether the live cd is inherited more or less complete from the upstream provider - or whether it is completely re-packaged at centos. I'm also not sure how technically difficult it is to re-package a live cd with extra services.
I am attempting to work with adding a new hard drive with a default logical volume setup. In order to complete the task, I am instructed to use a live CD to boot the system without mounting the drives using linux rescue. I am using CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso
I have reviewed the centos documentation. When the live CD boots, it starts a count down to an automatic boot. I attempt to invoke the boot options as directed by hitting the tab and adding the words
linux rescue
At the end of the line and hit return to begin the booting process.
Unfortunately, the linux rescue boot option is ignored and the system mounts the hard drive. Additionally, I have checked the boot option several times by hitting the tab a second time and the option is not displayed.
In researching the issue, I inevitably get very similar instructions like:
Quote:The first centos CD or DVD has a rescue mode, just type on the boot screen: linux rescue
I have CentOS 5.5 running as a desktop, on Live USB with persistent overlay. It's been working great since January. However yesterday I noticed something strange. Almost all the binary files, including those under /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, and /usr/sbin, have been modified, compared to the originals in squashfs.img (I mounted squashfs.img and did a "diff -r" comparison). The timestamps all remain the same, but the sizes of the binary files have been increased by a typical 1 - 3 KB.
The system has never been updated, other than a few minor package installations via yum. It's running behind a firewall with no services except an SSH server on a non-standard port. Checks on log files etc. didn't find anything suspicious, and chkrootkit turned up nothing.
is it possible to create a live cd or a cd/dvd installer from a running system.
