1500W should be plenty, but the card may not be getting enough power. On a much smaller system (3 drives, 1 3ware card), I had power problems. I used a 400W power supply and the +-5V rail was only delivering 3.9V. I kept losing drives. This was an 'expensive' Antec power supply. I switched to a b

Do you need to shut your machine down to use clonezilla? After a quick skim of the site, I can't find anything that says you don't. On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 7:27 AM, Les Mikesell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anne Wilson wrote: > >> >> > I've had good results using Clonezilla for complete backup o

I think the last time I did it, I got the tarball. I either did an rpmbuild -ta on it, or there was an rpm target in the makefile. Regardless, I ended up with two RPM's -- a kernel module and the tools. On any systems that had different kernels, I had to recompile to get the kernel module. On Mon

The output is on one of the virtual terminals. If you do a text mode install, or hit alt-f1 and search around for the right console, you'll find it. One possible trick would be to run everything in a subshell (see http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/client-config/4.1.0/ch-rhnreg-ks.html),

Add this to the end of your kickstart file: = %post yum -y update = In fact, you can do all sorts of things, like configure services using chkconfig. You have a bash interpreter and your chrooted into your new install. I used to do all sorts of crazy stuff

It's been awhile since I looked into it, but I recommend outsourcing your email. Companies like fusemail (http://www.fusemail.com/solutions/resellers.html) will give you accounts at $0.69/month/account for a 1GB account (last time I checked anyway). They provide an API and a dashboard for managing

No. I never experienced loss of networking in the Dom0. My guess is that your bridge interface isn't configured correctly. There's a bunch of good documentation on how Xen uses the different network interfaces. http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking helped me understand it better. On Dec

I think, but don't know for a fact, that if you don't specify a bridge interface in your config, you'll get a 'nat' address in your domU. I posted about it in my blog: http://yablog-gary.blogspot.com/2007/12/xen-what-i-learned-today.html -- maybe that will get you on the right track? thanks. On De

Hi, As others have pointed out, as long as you're patched up, the fixes are backported. Checkbox security is lame. I strongly recommend setting ServerToken ProductOnly See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#servertokens for more. It's more secure, because a script kiddie looking in

The alternative that I prefer is to install a custom perl for your application in another location (like /opt/bin). This keeps it separate from your system perl, so your os patches work fine and patching won't break your application. On 9/4/07, Jim Perrin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 9/4/07,
