..could also be your Wintendo setups. You might wanna fetch a
lightweight distro like http://damnsmalllinux.org/ (50MB for
creditcard size cds) and use that to fetch and burn FGLiveCD.
Hey Arnt, just an observation.... I've noticed that alot of *nix
users will
"dis" Windows at almost every opportunity but I don't nearly as
many Windows
users "dis'ing" *nix... have you noticed this ?
nothing meant by it...just an observation.... ;-)
I have a Windows 2000 system (updated with latest service packs
including Nero) that would never burn a cd reliably, even if the md5
was verified, and even if I didn't use the machine while burning/
preparing to burn. (An Athlon 1 Ghz with lots of disk space).
I finally just gave up wasting cd-rs and download/burn everything on
a mac os x system where I NEVER have a problem. (although I've never
had any problems downloading on a linux system either. I never tried
actually burning under linux). You could always try CD-RW, at least
you wouldn't waste CD-Rs, but I don't know if that would solve the
issue or if your drive supports burning them.
To download via BitTorrent:
You first need to download a BitTorrent application: see <http://
www.bittorrent.com/>. Here's information about the BitTorrent
protocol from wikipedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent>
To get the latest FGLive cd, you download this file: <http://
pigeond.net/flightgear/fglive-0.1-linuxtag.torrent>
and then open it in BitTorrent -- in mac os x, you just drag
the .torrent file onto the BitTorrent app's icon -- (and hopefully
find a seed, there're 3 at the moment).
I've only used BitTorrent to download FGLive so I'm no expert. I
think the idea is once you've downloaded fglive, you should try to
keep running BitTorrent for a bit to allow others to grab a copy of
the fglive cd image you just downloaded. Please don't move or delete
the image file while your doing this!
I hope this helps...
Best regards,
Ima
