Installfest "Services" is an experiment by | Brian A. Seklecki and Ted Rodgers to provide high performance servers for Linux Distro Boot, Install Media, and Updates retrieval via a local FTP/HTTP mirror within the Installfest event.
The service runs on local hardware in the LAN. Having local install/update mirrors avoids the need for WPLUG attendees to consume Commodity Internet (commercial upstream Internet Connectivity) at the InstallFest venue.
NOTE: WPLUG doesn't officially endorse or support the distros provided on Install Services.
Update Services
Updates for Fedora Core 10 / i386
1) Install the following file into directory /etc/yum.repos.d/"
Fedora Core 10 i386 YUM Repo Config File
Note: To ensure that the local WPLUG / CMU repositories are utilized instead of the default Redhat / Fedora for all yum(8) functions, always prepend the command "--disablerepo=updates"
2) Update the available RPM database YUM maintains
# yum update
3) Update your system:
# yum check-update # yum upgrade
Install Services
The installfest service runs a DHCP+TFTP service which will serve PXE compatible boot loaders and kernels.
The service also provides NAT+PAT routing on an as-needed basis. When it is not functioning as a router, DHCP service should be turned off on the router in use.
