Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 - Networking: Some Queries -- GURUS HELP PL
With NM_Controlled=No in the ifcfg file, NM applet shows Not Managed, so the ifcfg file is being read. What is the extent of interaction of NetworkManager with ifcfg files is unknownvery little information on the net. Seems Network Manager is still mostly unplublished compared to other utilities. Any pointers to literature on this or macro architecture of NM would be appreciated, as Google is not throwing up the right results.

[CentOS] xeyes kills freenx session
I was trying an assortment of things to get a remote X session working (where I had forgotten to install the xauth package...) and noticed that running xeyes kills my freenx session. This happened whether in the NX/freenx session itself or when run on a remote machine via 'ssh -Y', started from a window in a freenx session.

[CentOS] unfsd scalability issues
Hello there, I believe that unfsd ( http://unfs3.sourceforge.net/ ) now does have multi-threaded capability and as such should be fairly well scalable.

[CentOS] Install 6.2 via wireless
Folks I have a HP 8540w workstation, and just for kicks, I wanted to see if I could install Centos 6.2 using only the wireless connection, and the cd/dvd reader. I tried the net-install CD image, but it never found the wireless adaptor. How for up the chain must I go to succeed? Net-install (doesn-work) CD containing minimal DVD containing the full image? This effort was more than academic; one of my clients has a box that is connected only through wireless, and we need to do the install. Any advice you may have would be appreciated.
