Why not start with a minimal installation and then add only those packages that are needed for your situation? Here's why. I'm currently experimenting with CentOS on my workstation, trying out different desktop environments like GNOME3, KDE, MATE, Xfce. But at the same time, I'm also working on that same workstation, for example developing websites on a local LAMP stack, using multimedia apps like Audacity to edit some audio tracks for my training courses, etc. When switching from one desktop environment to another for the sake of trying it out, there's always tons of cruft on the system, even after a yum groupremove Old Desktop Environment.

[CentOS] move a disk to another machine

/usr/bin/perl -p -i -e 's/rdblacklist=MODULENAME//' /boot/grub/grub.conf

interface, so why when the system reboots it comes up with
bootproto=none?
As I pointed out the script I sent changes all interfaces to DHCP=none.
If you are using it and you don't want it to do that then remove this line:

On the other hand, port 1 (eth0) does come up with the static information

Upon reboot the system *should* generate a base one for you as it will
see it as a new interface. Not a big deal if it does not though, just
create one yourself. You will want to add it to the udev rules file
though. You can re-run the script I sent to do that if you want. At

option is not being pulled from the kickstart boot line. If it is you
can add this to the kickstart post install section:
/usr/bin/perl -p -i -e 's/rdblacklist=MODULENAME//' /boot/grub/grub.conf
So for port 2 (eth1), the kickstart file has it configured as a dhcp
interface, so why when the system reboots it comes up with
bootproto=none?
As I pointed out the script I sent changes all interfaces to DHCP=none.
If you are using it and you don't want it to do that then remove this
line:
/usr/bin/perl -p -i -e 's/dhcp/none/'
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-${NETDEV}-tmp
On the other hand, port 1 (eth0) does come up with the static
information
as it should - that info is also set in the kickstart file.
Baffled ...

That's what I figured, so I can remove it from the kickstart file, no
problem. The question then becomes, if kickstart doesn't configure
it, what
happens when the system reboots after install? It won't know what to
do
with that interface, correct?
Is this a case where I will need to put an ifcfg-eth2 file in place
during post-install?
Upon reboot the system *should* generate a base one for you as it
will
see it as a new interface. Not a big deal if it does not though,
just
create one yourself. You will want to add it to the udev rules file
though. You can re-run the script I sent to do that if you want.
At that
point it should be eth2. Or you can edit the existing one by
copying a
line and changing the MAC and eth* to whatever you need.

Re: [CentOS] Easy way to strip down CentOS?
The best way to do this is a new minimal install either in the GUI installer or with kickstart. And build up from there. If you do an install to e.g. CentOS-base.qcow2, that image already has machine-id and hostname set. While not running a VM, use guestfish to mount the qcow2, and make /etc/machine-id empty. Now, only use this base.qcow2 as a backing image. That is, never use it directly in a VM. Use qemu-img create -b base.qcow2 -f qcow2 guest1.qcow2 qemu-img create -b base.qcow2 -f qcow2 guest2.qcow2 qemu-img create -b base.qcow2 -f qcow2 guest3.qcow2 Now use the guestn.qcow2 in the VM. And at first boot, the machine-id will be populated. I'm not sure of any negative consequences of not doing this, but if you want to use remote journalling it's necessary so that the single journal can keep machines uniquely identified (even when changing the hostname). http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remote_Journal_Logging https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/lc-2012/snapshots-handout.html Extra info: Anaconda uses this on lives to do installations (quite a few of these options are consolidated with -a): rsync -pogAXtlHrDx -- Chris Murphy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Kickstart with multiple eth devices
I have a Dell server that has two built-in ethernet devices. When I kickstart the machine, they are correctly identified as eth0 and eth1 (correctly meaning they correspond to the physical device ports 1 and 2). I need a third one and want that to come up as eth2. After adding the hardware, kickstart now fails because for some reason it goes through a rename process where it makes the newly added card eth1 (or eth0, I forgot). Is there a way to stop this rename process so kickstart correctly uses the physical hardware the way they are, meaning physical port 1 = eth0, port 2 = eth1, and the additional ethernet card then becomes eth2? Should I be using the device's MAC address when I set the 'network' option in the kickstart file? So instead of 'network --device=eth0' I make it 'network -device=aa;bb:cc:dd:eee:ff' ? ksdevice=aa;bb:cc:dd:ee:ff in your above example will ensure the device with that mac is the kickstart device. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
