damn!
Burn't off 4 CD - all bad.... what am I doing wrong????
Downloaded ISO images from 2 mirror sites so far....
Onto my Windows XP laptop at work
(ie. thru firewall...)
thru Internet Explorer - choosing the FTP:// sites
I had 4 downloads going at once....
what am I doing wrong????
-------------------------------
should I go through CUTE FTP instead?
is it the firewall?
Can it be the CD burning?
(Mind you, I had a friend burn off one of the CDs on his PC (We copied the ISO from my laptop - rather than him downloading himself....)
Should I use my SOLARIS Workstation to download, then FTP onto my Laptop with the CD burner? (Mind yo my Workstation has a really old version of NETSCAPE.... dunno if this would be an issue for FTP though)
How do I check before Burning off a CD, and wasting it?
----------------------------------------------------------
(Was using Nero 5.5 I think....)
the first thing to do is check the md5 sum for each of the isos. The refernce values are in a text file the same directory on the server as you downloded the isos from.
tried to download - but only got it as a TEXT file....
Firewall
I tried to install anyways
Got half way through 1st CD - then said "file missing... media or download corrupt...."
FIREWALL - surely it would either let the FTP download ok, or deny right from the start? Ie not allow partial downloads???? (I really dunno how it work - please advise!)
Oh man - this UNIX stuff - exciting concepts - but bit of a pain getting off the ground.
If you are having trouble with the downloads try and get your hands on some media from elsewhere, if you are lucky enough to be in Australia send me a message and I will send you whatever free Linux or Unix you want.
