Lanny snip (output of mount command) the boot partition, /dev/hda2 was mounted Read-Only (ro). To work around that little problem, simply: # mount /dev/hda2 -o rw,remount which remounts the partition Read-Write so you can work with it instead of only observe. Thanks! Now, I believe the Live CD is missing the chroot command. This means you have to do the bookkeeping manually. The grub.conf file (normally at /boot/grub/grub.conf) will now appear at /mnt/disc/hda2/grub/grub.conf. Note that there is no /boot in that path. Yes. The paths were very different, when running on the Live CD. And yes, the farther you are from the monitor, the clearer it all becomes. Many years ago, I bought a handheld VHF radio transceiver.

Jose: Welcome! Here's the deal my Boss wants us to move more toward linux for some of our basic users. All I was supposed to do was install CentOS 5.2 and Open Office and disburse the machines. Simple enough right. So I did this with no issue. I ran the interface and installed only GNOME and KDE. After installation was complete I activated the eth-0 and had it on DHCP. I connected to the net fine and began downloading open office. I left for the day and came back and I can no longer get back online. The eth-0 wont even activate unless I manually enter a static IP but still can not establish a connection online. I treid reinstalling to no avail. Even built a completely new box and still no avail. I am using CentOS 5.2 i386 DVD. Like I said I am new to this so any guidance would be appreciated to get me into the Linux world. Thank you. Linux is based on UNIX and networking started there. Networking will work for you! I normally install both GNOME and KDE, but 99% of the time, I use GNOME. When I install from a DVD, I install the majority of Applications and Systems things I want at that time. Then, in a Terminal Window (as root), do yum update to update everything to the latest version, for Security and Stability reasons. In GNOME, at the lower left hand corner, click on System Administration Network and enter the password for root (the super user). That brings you to a GUI utility called system-config-network Be sure that eth0 is shown as Active and then highlight it and click on Edit. Be sure that Activate Device when computer starts is checked. And, Automatically obtain IP with DHCP. And, Automatically obtain DNS. A book I can recommend to you, would be the edition that covers Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, of Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux Bible by Christopher Negus. I'm sure that there are other excellent books, but this one will explain a lot to you. I think the version that covers RHEL 5 (CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL) is Fedora 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Bible, however you need to verify that, before you buy it, because I have an older version of the book. Please note that much of the book is about Fedora Core. Red Hat Enterprise Linux takes the best of Fedora Core and is a much more stable distribution, without the latest and greatest. So, the book will help you with CentOS, because CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL. HTH, Lanny in Colombia ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
