Hello all, I'm new here.

Is there any plan to open a repo for FC5 or Centos 4.3?, there's only for 4.2 here: http://download.computerntelecom.com/pu ... er/centos/

Thanks
David

Yes and Yes. I was going to build single CD distros again but you can do the same thing by downloading the first CD's of either and adding my repo. So most likely I will go this route. It will make it simple for every one and I can create the custom distro's for those that want them. At the moment though I am trying do do some house keeping as one of the build servers is having some drive issues. So I'm tring to recover all I can from it before moving to FC5. CentOS4.3 I just put together last night and is almost set to go. I just need to load the build client stuff and I will be ready to rock. FC5 will follow shortly and the package for FC3 is already in the test directory.

Cheers,
Corey

I am using the distro on a computer hidden in a utility room and connected to my big screen TV in the living room - allowin me to check out the cams as well as surf/read email etc. I run a USB-cable and a DVI/cable trough the wall to the utrility room.

Now my problem is that my RF wireles keyboard/mouse combo dont work with the distro or with any Linux out of the box (there is however a fix that can be used see http://www.tcnj.edu/~tolboom2/globlink_rf88.html) that either require a patch to be applied (but I dont know how to rebuild the distro or drivers in general) or that a program be built that will send some sequences to the keyboard using the usbfs before the keyboard driver is loaded (but I have no clue how to run a program before the keyboard driver is loaded).

By downloading the development package from Fedora I have managed to build the little program but as I said how to run it at the right time? Is usbfs by the way suported in the distro?

Any sugestions what is the easiest way to make this work???

Right now I have everything else working - latest NVIDIA driver allowed me to watch zone minder in nice 1280x720 native panel resolution using a 6200 card! Just want tgo get rid of the long keyboard cable and regular keyboard I use right now...

Best Regards
Trist

I added a package for FC5 x86_64 tonight.
I haven't had a chance to load and test the packages but thought someone might have time to try it out before I can. I put it in the repo for download.

For those new to this create a file at /etc/yum.repos.d named:
ctu-extra-rpms.repo
and copy the following code:

Code: Select all

[CTU-RPMS]
name=CTU Core $releasever - $basearch - CTU-RPMS
#baseurl=ftp://download.computerntelecom.com/pub/linux/zoneminder/fedora/core/$releasever/CTU-RPMS/$basearch
mirrorlist=http://www.computerntelecom.com/download/mirrors/CTU-Extras-fc$releasever
