Error: Missing Dependency: rrdtool = 1.2.27-3.el5 is needed by package rrdtool-perl

When I'm installing Ganglia on my CentOS, I've did the following:
# yum install rrdtool ganglia ganglia-gmetad ganglia-gmond ganglia-web httpd php

However, instead I got the followings
# Error: Missing Dependency: rrdtool = 1.2.27-3.el5 is needed by package rrdtool-perl

To workaround this issue, I've installed in stages. I'm assuming you have installed RpmForge Repository

# yum install rrdtool-perl
# yum install ganglia ganglia-gmetad ganglia-gmond ganglia-web httpd php

ok. It works.




Booting to Single Mode for Centos LINUX

At the screen that says booting/using kernel xxx.xx.x (blue screen)
hit one of the arrow keys (quickly cuz you only have a few seconds to do this) and then a "e" (without the quote marks)

- and then use arrow keys to cursor down to the line that has rhgb quiet
at the end and delete those two words (rhgb quiet)

- and then type in place of those the word single

- hit enter key then the 'b" key to bootup into the single user text mode..
