 I want to install centos on fc9 machine remotely and i don't want to
 ask/request datacenter people for installation .Is there any possibility
 to do this using live CD? yes i am allowed to request datacenter to boot
 system from LiveCD.

I think you should burn a CentOS install CD/DVD with a kickstart file to 
automate the install/setup...
At the end of the kickstart script, you can call some scripts to further setup 
the servers.

I don't think you can install CentOS from the LiveCD. Someone more
knowledgeable hopefully can point you to the documentation of how to
do a network installation. Can you SSH into the box?

You may want to try CentOS (32 bit). Suggest you try it with the
CentOS Live CD, first, to see if CentOS will work OK on your Laptop.
If not, suggest you use Fedora or Ubuntu or something that supports
more HW. GL

[CentOS] installation help

2008-11-29 Thread Kevin Kempter
Hi All;

I'm trying to instal CentOS on my new laptop but I've run into a few issues.  

It's a Dell Precision M6400 - I'm installing CentOS 5 (64bit) running KDE


I have 3 issues:

1) I cannot get the wireless to work 


2) I cannot get sound to work


3) I cannot get the full screen resolution
I can go to administration -- display and under the 'Hardwae' tab I can 
configure the display as a generic or as a Dell 1920x1200 but no matter what 
I choose the 'Settings' tab only lets me choose a max of 1400x1050


I can get the wireless and sound to work in Fedora 10 but I'm not sure how to 
tell specifically what devices they are.. I thought I could use Fedora 10 to 
help debug the sound  wireless.


Thanks in advance for any help ...

I have an old Toshiba Tecra 8100 w/P3-600 and CentOS 5.2 32 bit, so
there will be extreme variances, but

 I have 3 issues:

 1) I cannot get the wireless to work

I had trouble with this, too.  I have a DLink USB wireless plugin,
which may be part of the problem, but I wound up using ndiswrapper and
the Window$ driver, and that seems to work as long as I can remember
the right sequence of commands to execute to ensure that it is up and
running.  (Need to script that)

 2) I cannot get sound to work

You might want to post some info on what kind of sound processor is in
your machine.  I can't help you here - my sound works fine.

 3) I cannot get the full screen resolution
 I can go to administration -- display and under the 'Hardwae' tab I can
 configure the display as a generic or as a Dell 1920x1200 but no matter what
 I choose the 'Settings' tab only lets me choose a max of 1400x1050

Have you gone to system-preferences-screen resolution and set that
as well?  I could not get any widescreen modes to work with my (home)
desktop system and a new 22WS monitor until I did that.  Then they
all worked.

Also, check your xorg.conf file to make sure all the possible modes
are there - sometimes you have to edit in the Modes line with all the
resolutions your monitor can handle.

 I can get the wireless and sound to work in Fedora 10 but I'm not sure how to
 tell specifically what devices they are.. I thought I could use Fedora 10 to
 help debug the sound  wireless.


Whole different animal - different kernel and everything else down the
line.  Probably not going to help much.
