Administration on RedHat

2009-07-16 Thread van Sleeuwen, Berry
Hello listers, For a test we have installed a RHEL 5.3. In a SLES we have yast for several administration tasks. Does a similar application exist on RedHat? We would like to do our administration through SSH and not in a graphical environment. But so far I couldn't find any reference to tools

As far as I know there's nothing like YaST in RedHat, but you have the system-config-* commands that you might want to check out. They're not covering everything that YaST does but it's a little bit on the way. About GUI for package management I don't know of any at all, but yum is very easy to

Ray, is there a way to change the root= parm to be something rather less specific so that it will then boot in its new home? I have found it hard to rectify by hand. You might save time in the long run by reinstalling (if this is an option), and for every file system in the Expert Partitioner,

Thank you, David and Mark. As it turns out, I *had* done the right thing (changed the boot parm in zipl.conf), but due to a finger check had managed to specify the wrong partition. Your responses caused me to double-check my work and thus discover my error. Ray

I didn't know the system-config commands so I'll have a look at them. As for YUM, as I understand it it is more like an updater so I didn't look at it thus far since I want to install software (from my software repository) rather than update installed packages. Thank you all for your tips.
