CentOS

hi guys, I know /dev/dsp is being removed but I remember it working a few versions back in 7, and I need to make it work. as of now the mention is still inside alsa-plugins-oss in its share files for example. # pcm-oss plugin configuration pcm.oss { type oss device /dev/dsp hint { description "Open ...

let's thank the previous person for the help and for keeping this forum to high standards where people with the same problem can find this question with an answer... as opposed to "just throw it away" :roll: anyway you need to look into syslinux if you want to boot via USB, also you're gonna need to...

Thank you and sorry about these older question but these days I'm exhuming ancient legacy stuff

Hi guys,

I assume the answer is "I suppose forever", but since I don't know I'd rather ask.

How long will the centos5 and all its version live on the vault?

judging from the older versions I assume forever, or until it's decided older versions are taking too much space... would I be correct?

Perhaps it does, but it's more of a "sorry, no idea, gotta read through the docs", which is cool, it's old stuff. I was more wondering if anyone remembered the behavior, but I can dig it up.

thanks anyway

Hi guys, I need to install CentOS 5 for Legacy purposes, and I cannot seem to find the information I need online, mostly because all results come up for 6 and 7. Anyway I'm simply looking for the documentation that talks about isolinux and kickstart installation for CentOS5, because I cannot remembe...

do you have any idea at what step during boot your kernel is panicking? the first one looks "post bios" and the other one... "post first one" ? if this really happened moving on with kernels, I suggest you grab an earlier iso, maybe 6.8 with 2.6.32-642.6.2 and run the test again. it would be pretty ...

you're running the machine from the dvd, every change you made isn't saved. I never really downloaded the centos live dvd, so I'm not sure if you get sent to gnome like fedora's... you have to install it. When you launch the live cd/dvd there should be an icon on the desktop to install and follow th...

I don't think it's worth it to use CentOS as "Desktop" I strongly disagree. One get a rock stable, well tested, and problem-free desktop platform with many many years of bug and security fixes. I use it (and maintain it) on many workstations. (CentOS 6 and CentOS 7) IMHO CentOS is the most underrat...

I'd say leave alone the interpreter, at that point you can simply add the shebang below as the code is a bit buggy with interpreters (if you check out the boot logs you'll see a warning and fall back) %post --log=/root/post.log #!/usr/bin/env bash ## # exec < /dev/tty6 > /dev/tty6 chvt 6 echo echo "...
