28. This is the first start - the firstboot-wizard appears.
Here you can edit the firewall settings if you want. If you're not planning to connect to this computer via
ssh/scp/sftp etc you can close the corresponding port.
28
29. I recommend to deactivate SELinux - it can cause many problems, especially if you're using software
from additional repositories.
29
30. A reboot is required to make the changes effective.

4 Basic Configuration
In various parts of this howto you have to switch to the root-account (within a terminal). The
terminal is available in the gnome applications menu.
40
41. Enter the following to switch to the root-account:
su -
%rootpassword%
You can switch back to your user-account with:
exit
4.1 Yum Plugins & Yumex
Install some recommended packages to prevent problems with packages (broken/3rd party)
and kernel-modules (root privileges needed):
yum install yumex yum-fastestmirror yum-skip-broken yum-kmod yum-kernel-module yum-
priorities
Note: How to manage packages with yumex is described later at step 5.
41
42. After that we add priorities to the default repositories.
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
Add a priority to each repository-entry - the content should look like this:
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by
Lance Davis for CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of
the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that
are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use
this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall
back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
#
#
[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$rel
easever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/
os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
42
43. gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-
CentOS-5
priority=1
#released updates
[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$rel
easever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/

gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-
CentOS-5
priority=1
#packages used/produced in the build but not released

name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons

easever&arch=$basearch&repo=addons
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/

gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-
CentOS-5
priority=1
#additional packages that may be useful
[extras]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras
43
45. Install the repository:
rpm -ivh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-
1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
4.2.2 Priority
Now let's set a low priority (high number > 10) for this repository.
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
Change the content that it looks like this:
# Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat
Enterprise 5 - dag
# URL: http://rpmforge.net/
[rpmforge]
name = Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - RPMforge.net
- dag
#baseurl =
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/$basearch/dag
mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-
rpmforge
#mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-
rpmforge
enabled = 1
protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-
rpmforge-dag
gpgcheck = 1
priority=11
45
46. 4.3 Remove Software
Before you are going to update the system for the first time you should check if there is
software installed that you don't need, or rather that you want to replace with another
software. The goal should be a clean system with only the programs installed that you really
need.
Which programs you should deinstall or replace with others is up to you - you'll find a
summary of already installed software at step 6 and a little assortment of additional software
(including possible replacements for already installed software) at step 7.
You can simply deinstall software with the Yum Extender (yumex) - have a look at step 5.
4.4 Services
Some services are enabled by default on your system - maybe some of them are needless
(depending on your hardware and your needs). The deactivation of needless services will save
system resources, so it's worth to take a look on the service settings - they are available in
the gnome system menu.
46
49. 4.4.1 Enable Services
• Network Manager
• Network Manager Dispatcher
4.4.2 Disable Services
• bluetooth (disable this service if there is no bluetooth device connected to your
system)
• firstboot (this service is not longer needed)
• mdmonitor (disable this service if you haven't set up a RAID-system)
• pcscd (disbale this service if there is no smart-card device connected to your system)
• restorecond (disable this service if you deactivated SELinux)
49
50. • sshd (disable this service if you're not planning to connect to this computer via
ssh/scp/sftp etc)
If you have a computer with a wlan-card I recommend to disable "network" in all runlevels -
otherwise you'll have a long boot-time cause the system tries to allocate a dhcp-ip to this
device (regardless of the configuration). The network manager will enable the network
automatically after you've logged in.

4.5 Nautilus
Nautilus opens a window for every single folder by default - to change this open any folder and edit
the settings. It's also a good idea to enable the delete command that bypasses the trash - because if
you delete something from external storages with the standard delete command, the things will not
really be deleted but moved to a trash on the device (.trash). This trash will not be affected when you
delete the trash on your desktop.

53. 4.6 Fonts
In this step we'll make the fonts eye-friendly and change the resolution to a value that is used by
