Re: [CentOS] How fast?

If I may suggest Smoothwall for a firewall appliance...? This is a specialty distro, IPCop is another similar distro. Smoothwall's even got a simple static DNS built-in, just the thing for a smallish home network. Might be just what the OP is looking for? -- /Sorin I'll throw in a second for Smoothwall. If you want to get really fancy there's a ton of firewall options available within their homebrew community. Just about any feature you could want in a firewall is available there.

Re: [CentOS] installing updates in post kickstart
Jerry Geis wrote: I can do a yum update in my post kickstart (which is what I am doing now actually). However, I want to save network time at installations. If I copy down the files from centos/5.3/updates/x86_64/RPMS and place them in a directory local on my network, can I just rpm -U /mnt/directory/updates/x86_64/RPMS* in my post section? Assuming I have nfs mounted the directory of course... You can always replace the updated RPMS in the CentOS directory and run createrepo to rebuild the comps.xml and header info so that you do your initial build with the newer files without running yum at all.

Is something wrong with the distributed DVD image? It has failed an MD5 check every time I've pulled it down. I created my own as I needed it as I already had the CD's.

Re: [CentOS] Update to Centos 5 anaconda kickstart %post bug?[SOLVED]
I appreciate the input on this question from those who have made suggestions. As the unofficial fix for %post does not change the target build (as the anaconda rpms are untouched) I will move in that direction. Those of you speculating will have to accept that there is much I cannot share and much of which you do not know about the systems and target environment. To suggest a shaming only makes the Centos community look bad as it would be done so without understanding the entire environment and situation. Thank you.

[CentOS] Update to Centos 5 anaconda kickstart %post bug?
Is there a process for finding status updates to open bugs within Centos? The particular bug I am talking about is 0002329 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2329. This was assigned on 01-20-2008 and, as far as I can tell, there's been no action other than it being acknowledged. I've also searched upstream with RHEL and FC and I cannot seem to find a bug report there though complaints of the problem can be found through searching the web. I do see the manual fix for it and will be testing that shortly. I am, however, dealing with a fairly rigid internal legal department that may not welcome a fix that's not official. So I have two questions: 1) Is there an official or accepted way to inquire about the status of an open bug? 2) With regard to bug 0002329 is this something that has to be fixed upstream so it filters down to centos?

Lanny Marcus Wrote: Does that mean that your Legal Department does not permit you to upgrade your box, to get the latest packages, issued for Security Stability reasons? 5.1, as you are well aware, is not the latest and greatest. That is correct. What they approve is based on the contents of the DVD or CD for a particular version at the time of initial release. The governmental regulatory framework in which we work is what drives the requirements. I am well aware that 5.1 is not the latest, greatest, current or anything else of that matter.

The fact that they make you sit with an older version without any patches says that they have no idea how much damage can be done, or how much info can leak from unpatched systems. Maybe if a million customer records leak out because they won't let you patch systems they might update their thinking. Not relevant. These machines are not tied to any public network. As much as I appreciate the commentary and lessons you're not telling me anything I'm not already aware of. I'm simply seeking some insight on this particular bug and, more generally, if there's a better way to find status on something like this. So far RP Herrold has helped most as I was not aware that there's been much conversation within anaconda and kickstart mailing lists.
