steppenwolf1984 Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hmn. Is there a reason that each time I start downloading Mepis Live, it finishes at around 59 MB and I have a 59MB rar package for a nearly 700MB cd? Is the 59 MB download extreeeemely compressed, or is there a glitch in the download process. Now that Im pretty good at burning ISO's , the downloading gets weird. Btw, best cd iso image burner ive ever seen? K3b. Pure magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Where did you get that 59 MB file from??? It cannot be the iso, no matter how much you compress it. Only download the iso files. Everything else is very dubious IMHO. ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/mepis/released/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 You must be downloading something bogus from a non-official site. The available download of the current version is about 700MB and not rar compressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf1984 Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Yeah, I have no idea till I look inside I guess...with the best A-V I can find running... its the second time it happened and both times the mirror says its a 700mb download then it stops at 59. Last time I opened it but didnt know what I was doing so I deleted, but I remember it LOOKED like an iso unpacked....boot, vmlinux, initrd..... I dont have my hopes up. Good news is I also downloaded Sams Mandriva mini, which looks promising as a live on the go giveaway Mdk giveaway...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf1984 Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 As expected the Mepis download was crap. K3b (bless its little pentium heart) figured it out even tho it shows as an iso file. SAMS mandrake based isn't bad tho and Slax is...well, slax....
