Hello folks

I am trying to install Puias 6.2 for a 386.

I have downloaded both DVDs for 386 from your site. DVD Disc1 and DVD Disc2

The problem is with the second DVD.

I am able to run the first DVD up to the Installation Options, Terminal, Desktop, etc.

I choose Desktop and it starts to install, Then it reaches a point, and asks for second Disc, I install the second Disc, and then, it states that I have installed the wrong disc, please Install Disc2, and it keeps doing this.

I have downloaded the 2nd DVD twice.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated, Please do not get too technical, I am an older person and have played with different flavors of Linux, but I am far from being a pro.

Thanks
Glyn...

Looks like the latest update for the second dvd didn't have the
.discinfo file that tells anaconda which disc you have inserted.

I updated the iso file on the mirror, please try downloading again now
and see if that fixes it for you.

New file size:

1267554304 puias-6.2-i386-DVD-2.iso


Thanks for letting us know.
Thomas.

(This is mostly likely my fault :-( )

All,

Are there any packages that require yum-cron and yum-cron-puias?
They got installed on our PUIAS6 servers and I can't figure out which
other package depended on them being installed.

There's got to be a better way to do this, but I ran:

# rpm -qa | while read i; do rpm -qR $i | grep -q yum-cron && echo $i;
done

It doesn't return any packages other than yum-cron and
yum-cron-puias, so I'm not sure which package required it.

Our kickstart only installs these packages:

puppet
htop
strace
lsof
mailx
nfs-utils

And then relies on puppet to install the rest of the packages. We
aren't installing anything that I can find that would require yum-cron
and yum-cron-puias in our puppet config.

We aren't installing any RPM groups, either, just specifying each
package manually. Is this in some PUIAS base build that I'm missing?

Thanks,
ep

Hi Brian,

first of all sorry about the delay. Now as far as
yum-cron/yum-cron-puias you will find that those two are marked as
default in base group of comps file:

/data/puias/6/x86_64/os/PUIAS/repodata/comps-puias6.xml

so unless you add

-yum-cron
-yum-cron-puias

in %packages section of your kickstart file - they will get installed.

Hope this helps,

Josko P.

In addition, you can skip the installation of the base group by doing

%packages --nobase

in your kickstart. This is a bit riskier for most applications, so use
with caution! But, this may be exactly what you're looking for, as it
will skip the base group (where these two packages are defined to be
installed) and install only the packages you have explicitly defined
(and their dependencies).

Gotcha. I don't see this in our RHEL6.2 builds. Is it something that
is different in PUIAS6 from RHEL6?

Added it to our %packages section.

Thanks for your help,

Hey, it's Ben Rose!

Thanks for the suggestion Ben. I think we'll heed on the side of
safety and not include the --nobase option. But it does give me
pause. We haven't actually done an analysis from our RHEL5 or RHEL6
kickstarts to figure out the package differences for our hardened
build, yet.

Looks like we'll do that sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the help, and nice hearing from you,
ep

Brian,

Why not just do

yum remove <package>

Yum will prompt you before removing a package, and if there are
dependencies, it will list them, too, when it prompts you to continue.
