1. Using rsync for Mandrake isos?
I downloaded the mandrakefreq iso from Penn State (carroll.cac.psu.edu),
but the download has a bad md5sum. I want to use rsync to correct it,
but so far I haven't been able to get rsync to work. I've read the man
pages and some other tutorials, but the best I can do is get a
connection refused or a bad module message.
Can anybody confirm that rsync will be an efficient way to correct an
iso (compared to downloading the entire iso again)?
If anybody has used rsync on carroll, can you post something close to
the exact command string? (I'd post some of the commands I've been
trying, but that particular Linux box locked up and I had to reboot.)
One error message I got related to saying something like "pub is not a
valid module", where "pub" is the first directory on the path and I had
tried a number of variations of things like:
rsync -<options> rsync://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/.../<filename>
<localfilename>
rsync -<options> carroll.cac.psu.edu:pub/.../<filename> <localfilename>
rsync -<options> carroll.cac.psu.edu::pub/.../<filename> <localfilename>
I also tried adding my username, which I tried as "guest@" and
"anonymous@" (for anonymous ftp).
2. Maillist for Mandrake 7.2 issues?
Someone on the list noted that this list is primarily for development of
Mandrake 8.0 (or future releases).
Is there a mailing list for Mandrake 7.2?
Thanks,
Randy Kramer
