NetSNMP/Bluecat build/Build Machine

  • Rebuilt NetSNMP 5.1.1. Need to package src before build
  • Restarted Bluecat build for new label
  • Installing RH 8.0 on new machine

NetSNMP 5.1.1

We have a chicken and egg situation here. Apparently the src package needs to be built before the build happens, yet it also needs kern_mib.o and kern_mib.d.o, which you get after the build!. The scripts do not handle this gracefully so I rebuilt the packages by hand. Julia says the build is OK now but repeatability will be a problem

Installation of RH 8.0

After some initial trouble installing from CDROM (Needed to set IDE to Legacy in the BIOS) I managed to install RH 8.0. However I sized the root drive to only 2048 Meg. Turns out the RH 8.0 installation took 2020 Meg so I want to redo this. Upon reinstallation I'm again having problems with the CD. Seems the first CD has etchings on the outermost ring of the CD itself. Not sure if I caused this or if it was there before. May need to get anotehr CD for RH 8.0
