General :: How To Install CentOS With Lesser RPMs?
Jan 30, 2010
I have been challenged to install CentOS occupying just 200 MB. As for now, I installed the OS with only first CD.
Just put :
@core
under %package directive in ks.cfg. I can see the space as of now is:
Code:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 13G 740M 12G 9% /
/dev/sda1 99M 12M 83M 12% /boot
tmpfs 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm
I need to make it to atleast 300MB.I can see those RPM lying in Linux Box:
Code:
df -hyum remove 389*df -hyum remove *ldap*df -hrpm -qa --qf '%11{SIZE} %{NAME}
' | sort -k1n
0 basesystem
0 filesystem
[code]...
I will remove java, selinux-* but what other package I can remove.
Note: I dont need any application to run but just bare OS.

We have an appliance with image being installed from CD/DVD installation
This appliance image is based on CentOS 4.7 kernel/installer/etc. Everything works fine, we ship this product for about 2 years. Recently I had to move it (port everything) to CentOS 5.5 Everything went fine and it works fine except one minor thing )) We can't install it from CD/DVD image yet. Actually it start fine, finds kickstart file, creates partitions correctly, copies install image to harddrive, but fails the next step when it tries to install RPM's
The message we get:
Quote:
the file termcap-5.5-1.20060701.1.noarch.rpm cannot be opened. This is due to a missing file, a corrupt package or corrupt media. Please verify your installation source. If you exit your system will be left in an inconsistent state that will likely require re-installation"

I have installed Centos 5.3 64 bit version and run yum update so the system is up to date. However, I have noticed the kernel version that is installed is:
uname -a
Linux elektra.chemresearch 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:28:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and when attempting to install from ATrpm.net the nvidia driver I get this message:
yum install nvidia-graphics169.07 nvidia-graphics169.07-kmdl-`uname -r`
...
Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 is needed by package 1:nvidia-graphics169.07-kmdl-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5-169.07-94.el5.x86_64 (atrpms)
Now, yum says the kernel is up to date so how can I get the nvidia driver rpms to install? The entries in /boot are:
vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5
vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5
I have checked to make sure that the update repo is enabled. There were quite a few updates applied after the initial installation and the initial kernel was updated as the yum log indicates and also the entries in /boot.

this Ubuntu software center comes with 100s of applications of all types.In this version they have disabled rating, making it hard to find how good it is.I found gnome-shell today, that seemed awesome. There are other ones, less well known, For eg, Abiword is far better than Open Office Org Word processor in many ways. (Altho' I dont like word processors themselves.)What are the other less well known applications that you use and like. One application per answer.

I need to somehow do a yum installation (or equivalent of) on a system that is offline with no access to the internet. (I do have access to another Linux system that has internet access, but the Linux installations on both systems have different packages installed and enabled.)
Let's say the command to enter is 'yum install pkg1 pkg2 pkg3' (the documentation for some applications I need indicate the installation instructions this way, and not as the actual RPMs I need). Is there a way for me to run that on my offline system?
e.g. one way I can think of is to run that command on the online system, somehow if possible take note of what RPMs get installed, then transfer them to the offline system via USB and install all the RPMs via rpm command.
The problem with my above idea is that the two systems have different packages enabled, so even if yum on the online system shows a few dependencies being downloaded, I could run download and install all these RPMs and their dependencies on the offline system only to find several more missing dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies.

I have a custom made rpm. I need to install my particular RPM in a list of rpms which are part of a program. Say I have around 20 patch rpms which needs to be installed I need to install this through yum command. My particular RPM namely Patch-list.1.1.1.2-1.noarch.rpm needs to be installed as the first rpm in the total list of 21 rpms. I can modify my spec files and Makefiles as per my wish. what needs to be changed so that my rpm Patch-list.1.1.1.2-1.noarch.rpm will be installed first.

Does anyone know where we can get the rpms (x86_64) for MySQL v4.0.26 or 27?
We are in the process of upgrading a very old server to CentOS 5 and need to retain this version. We still have a lot of clients that utilize this version.

Is there a list of RPMs with known vulnerabilities? I was hoping to run some scripts across the list of currently installed packages vs such a list of vulnerable, to get an idea of what systems need attention. And no, just updating everything is neither an option, nor possible. My servers don't have access (nor do I want them to) to the outside world. Further, being production systems, I can't cause a disruption outside of scheduled down time, and due to running commercial software I can't upgrade some packages due to vendor support issues.

There appears to be three rpms duplicated between the base repo and the updates repo:
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
gnome-python2-extras-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
gnome-python2-libegg-2.14.2-6.el5.x86_64.rpm
This causes a big problem for Spacewalk as the packages are non-unique among channels.
I'm assuming these should be in base but not updates?Can they be removed to address this issue?

Aside from a few minor issues, I've been happy with VLC 0.9.9.
I recently did a yum update to get to Centos 5.5. I've got yum pointed to Dag.
Everything worked fine, until I restarted VLC 0.9.9.
In the update it looks like ffmpeg was updated to the 6.X branch, x264, and how vlc 0.9.9 was recompiled.
wait wait wait.. let me clarify, vlc 0.9.9 still works, but a key function in it that i use has broken.
I am able to do a yum downgrade on x264 and ffmpeg, but I am unable to downgrade VLC because it tells me there is no down grade path. How do I go about requesting the previous version of VLC be added back to Dags RMP site?
I spent sometime hacking on things the last 2 days, and was able to compile using the same ./configure options that were compiled from Dag with ffmpeg 5.2, and x264 and I get them to compile cleanly. VLC 0.9.9 source compiles and the errors I'm hitting go away.
I don't think the ffmpeg 6.X rmp is broken, i just think its to new for vlc 0.9.9 and breaks certain functionality.

I have the following problem. I downloaded openoffice 3 decompressed to the RPMs directory and by using command "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" installed all packages. When I look to the yumex so I can see single installed rpm's. That is OK. BUT I cant start openoffice because I dont know where are executable files. where is their location and where is default location for all installed programs(from RPM)?

As I was updating machines today, I was wondering... Is there some way to cache the RPM files locally that yum is grabbing? Like many, I have a number of VMs I run, and it most updates are the same between the nodes. I'm guessing I'd need some sort of http cache? Just looking for pointers, not sure what I'm looking for, however.

I dislike dependency ridden applications or applications that do something useful designed for a specific window manager. So I am starting a thread specifically for requests for applications in Gnome and KDE that aren't immediately available in XFCE, Fluxbox,Blackbox, IceWM, LXDE etc. For instance, I am personally creating a graphical sudo application for the lesser window managers. What other applications would you like to see? this is NOT a request for applications for Linux is general, ONLY ones already available in Linux.

Anyone have any luck installing libre office?
I downloaded it, is the intent that you just install all of the RPMs in the RPM directory? There isn't too much documentation yet.

I've been trying for awhile to install the restricted formats, but when in the download & and install process, YaST2 pops up saying that such and such RPM has failed. I hit ignore, and it happens again and again to all the other packages, bar the odd few that work.

I have a problem where in order to satisfy RPM dependencies, I need to remove packages and downgrade them in the same command. Imagine the following situation Before
A v2.0 depends on B,C
B v2.0 depends on C > 1.0
C v1.1
After
A v1.0 depends on C
C v 1.0
If I issue a
$ rpm -Uvh --oldpackage Av1.0.rpm Cv1.0.rpm
it will fail with "B depends on C > 1.0" If I issue a
$ rpm -e B
it will fail with "A requires B" so I appear to be in a catch-22. The obvious solution is to use a "--nodeps" and remove B before doing the downgrade, but I am creating these commands programmatically so I was hoping to use dependency resolution as a sanity check against an incorrect script. Is there any way to perform this downgrade without breaking the RPM dependency sanity checks by force?

I'm trying to make an environmental variable RPMS that will resolve to a website. I know I have to make the changes in .bash_profile, but all the things I try don't seem to want to work.
I've tried:
PATH=$RPMS:ftp://rha-server/pub/os/rhel5/Server/
or simply just making the variable itself
$RPMS=ftp://rha-server/pub/os/rhel5/Server/
The second one made a variable just fine, but when I attempted to run this command:
rpm -ihv $RPMS/caching-nameserver*

For RHEL 5.4,
# uname -r
2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
# uname -m
[code].....
show some "duplicate" rpms, one for the i386 and one for the x86_64 platform?
For example,
aspell-0.60.3-7.1.i386
aspell-0.60.3-7.1.x86_64
There are numerous other "dups" like that. Is this normal?

Desperation has set in and hence you get to view a thread with this title. I think the title explains it all. Or, what can be done when packages are no longer available through the repository but installing them from RMP is boarder line crazy.
