I meant to add my comments on this, but got tied up then forgot.
As a complete newbie, I for one very much appreciate the "almost default centos install" appliance DVD. I would much rather have the appliance DVD based as much as possible on the regular OS installation media, except for the needed Rivendell packages of course.
Long story, but I am working on a replacement fileserver for one I built years ago on RHEL4 that suffered primary hard drive failure.
I am basing my replacement on CentOS 6.4 so I can get more comfortable with the OS itself as well as Rivendell.
I know its kind of a paint in the butt to download that huge DVD .iso, but you only have to do it once, then you can back it up and make new media whenever you need to.
And finally, as far as system resources go, its not whats on the installation media that matters-its what actually gets installed that counts!
Again, a big THANK YOU to the entire Rivendell Team and this userlist for all the contributions each and every one of you make. You have a great product, and I enjoy learning about it and Linux in general every day. I would be truly lost without this list!

I was having a poke around in the downloads area. The DVD seems very large from the old cd appliance. Is this just because of the OS bloat? _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev ----- No virus found in this message.
