I did a "yum groupremove Java" and that failed "somehow". Yum listed all
group members as "erased", but some rpm packages failed because of missing
config files or so. As a result none of the 50 packages were removed from
the rpm database, but all of their files seem to have been removed.
How can I clean them out from the rpm db?

I notice that when I connect from a Windows VNC client (any VNC
distribution it seems) to the Centos desktop (Gnome) I cannot send AltGr
key combinations. The vncserver on the CentOS side is vino from Gnome. I
cannot check if the same happens when connecting from a CentOS machine to
a CentOS machine, but it looks more like Gnome simply ignores AltGr when
sent over VNC. Why would it do this? Where might I be able to change this?

So, whatever you change in the prompt string you may want to keep this
distinction at least.

Has anyone successfully installed Acronis True Image Agent 9.1 (that's the
version before Echo) on CentOS 5 (or 4?). It fails for me in the dkms
build of the snapapi kernel module. As it is the first time I install it
on a Linux OS I am not sure if this problem is CentOS 5 specific or
happens to occur on any Linux regularly, anyway.

Start running it in logging-only mode or it will immediately break certain
apps. You will have to adjust several limits before you can use it in
real.
