Source builds are not supported or recommended on a CentOS system.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

ok thanks trevor, what would you suggest i do, install the default rsync that comes with centos, via yum install rsync?

now i have the rsync command progress sorted now i want to do the same with the find command

i have done the commands below -

cd /source_dir/

find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; >> /md5sum/source.txt

this works fine but i want to see the progress of the find command, is there a way i can do this via pv command or something else

many thanks,

rob
