howto

I finally got around to upgrading my Linksys WRT54GL home wireless router to an open-source firmware, dd-wrt. This was more confusing than it should have been, mainly due to the large number of options available for wireless router firmwares. However, once I got that all sorted out the actual install was surprisingly easy and satisfying. This howto contains my notes on that process.

I recently had to migrate a CentOS 5 system from a single hard drive to a mirrored RAID configuration. Since I had set up the system with LVM originally I was able to do this (mostly) seamlessly while the machine was in production. This howto details the steps I took and the commands necessary to migrate the system.
