Hi Tom,

On the page:
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_on_CentOS_6.4[/url]
at #Repositories,
the fourth line in the 32-bit section reads:
rpm -Uvh [url]http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.i686.rpm[/url]
That is an invalid address. It should be:
rpm -Uvh [url]http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm[/url]
(note at the end, “.rf” should be inserted after “el6”)

The 4th line in the 64-bit section should be edited similarly.

-Bruce D.

Also recommend that the 50-Gb root partition issue in CentOS be discussed, and instructions be added to move the images directory to a larger partition as part of the installation instructions, to avoid the likely issue of someone trying to upload an image bigger than 50 Gb to the root partition.

This “50Gb root partition issue” as you state is not really a FOG issue, but rather an issue with CentOS itself. This isn’t something any of the FOG developers opted into. How can we fix something we have NO control over? What’s your recommendations on how the FOG developers can fix this issue? I’m not trying to say you’re wrong that it is an issue, but it’s not something we have any type of control over.
