RPM can be check for the list of dependencies, You can finding out what dependencies a rpm file has i.e. it will tell you what you need to install package with following command:

rpm -qpR {.rpm-file}
rpm -qR {package-name}

It will print list of dependencies on screen (output):

However RPM has in build mechanism to tell you about dependencies. Just try to install package and it will give you list of dependencies.

# rpm -ivh <your-rpm>.rpm

Output:

error: Failed dependencies:
...

Note:
.rpm file: File with .RPM extension. Typically this file is not installed. It may be on CD or you just downloaded from Internet.
package-name: It is installed RPM file.

You can solve dependencies problem by installing each individual package(s). If you are using Red hat Linux then you can try this tip http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vivek/blogger/2005/10/red-hat-rpm-dependency-problem.php

I'm having an issue getting a C6.6 install to work on a 3 TB dual hard drive system, raid 0. I'm hoping that someone here can help.

So, I install as normal, but then reboot, and it comes to a grub prompt. Going into the system via Linux rescue, I see that most of the files dealing with the kernel haven't been installed.

I asked the maker of the server and he said that they have noticed this happen recently. A solution is to put the kernel files on a thumb drive, and then point the OS to look for them there.

I have yet to try it, but is there a better way to deal with this issue that anyone else has done?

I'm planning to use CentOS 6.x on a handful of LAN servers. So far I've been using Slackware64 14.0 and 14.1 for the job.

I wonder what's the orthodox/recommended way of configuring and iptables firewall with CentOS. I understand there's the system-config-securitylevel-tui NCurses interface which allows defining a basic set of rules. But what about the handful of more advanced rules I have to configure?

Here's an example of an /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script that I might use with Slackware. It contains mostly basic rules, and a couple of more advanced rules, one to limit SSH access, the other one to redirect HTTP traffic to Squid.

If I want to copy my actual firewall configuration to CentOS, what would be the recommended way? I started from a bare bones minimal CentOS 6.5 installation, so system-config-securitylevel-tui is not even installed.
Is it a good idea to try to configure /etc/sysconfig/iptables by hand? What do you suggest?

I googled to see how I might restart the network interface in CentOS. I initially tried before googling:

sudo service network restart

I noticed that only the loopback interface was restarted. To confirm this I did:

service network stop

and then did

ifconfig

and the loopback info was gone. I then found ifconfig eth0 up/down and tried those and that did what I is was looking for. Why doesn't "service network restart" restart all interfaces?
