If you don't mind Helping someone else It's been 4 days for me.
I have a veortol seedbox started with centso 4.4 I just didn't get it to work so I had them change it to FC 4 it's not supported any more and some of the files will not update.
I'm going to change back to centso 4.4
and start over.
I did add IM to my profile.
Thanks

I set up Fedora 4 on mine...and am using TorrentFlux. All the info you need is on the Internet.

All you need to do is follow the instructions on this link and you will be up and running with TorrentFlux.

Yeah I'm running fedora 4 with vectoral too.

The problem is that cause fedora 4 is a bit outdated some of the mirrors don't work so u can't install all the required like wine xterm vnc...


As far as I know the yum.conf needs to be updated.


Just submit a ticket on "urgent" and ask them to install wine xterm vnc-server for you.

After they install them 3 things it will less than 10 minutes to set it up.

Seriously submit a ticket.

ok just tell them to install wine xtem vnc-server and thats all
I will do it right now!

Yeah once they are installed, it's pretty straigh forward from there.

That link I posted shows everything you need to know to do this yourself without submitting a ticket...

Don't they charge for tickets?

Yeah the link u posted is excellent and will work for fedora 5 and 6 but fedora 4 is out dated so when u type yum -y install vnc-server.....it will try to download it but it will not find a mirror to download it from cause the yum.conf needs to be updated.

and unless ur really good with linux, that could be a problem....

So best thing to do is submit a ticket and ask them to install the programs for you, so then they will update the yum.conf for you and away u go with ur seedbox :)

No they don't charge for tickets

[arkiebrian]

OK

Well, I suppose that's the easy way to do it then. I found my way through installing it all myself but I am a programmer by trade.

Good luck!

[fisherman]

Yeah if you know linux it would be easy enough... U have to update or add a .rpm package to make it find working mirrors...

I've only had this problem with Vectoral fedora 4......I use fedora all the time and never had any probs....It's just out dated....Why are they even offering fedora 4, the should make it fedora 6 or something

it's not so much that fc4 is outdated as that they don't have the yum packages set up. If you go into /etc/yum.repos.d and change the repos files, they have lines edited out and if you see $resourceserver in the links list it won't find anything you have to change it to 4

Yeah ur prob right....

Is there any chance you could do like a copy/paste and shows us exactly what should be changed to 4.....

Just for future ref as everytime u sign up for a different server with Vectoral, u have to go thru this and sometimes it can take them a day or even longer to get back to you.

well for example fedora.repo is
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

if you delete the # for the comment and change $releaseserver to 4 you get
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-4
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

some that you probably need to do this for would be fedora-updates.repo and fedora-extras.repo
i'm not sure if you need to change the name line or not, but this has worked for me on 3 different installs

Thanks for posting that, it could come in handy for the future :)
