I've checked that file with file, yes ..its only an html file that containt an error message like this:
<TITLE>FTP Error</TITLE> <H1>FTP Error</H1> <h2>Could not login to FTP server</h2> <PRE></PRE> Actualy, I have the license key from opensound already, but its still not working. Every time I tried on : http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi; then enter the license key, always got that error file. And also tried to ftp://www.se.opensound.com/pub/oss/linux, still not working. Is the ftp server of opensound down ? -- I've checked at Alsa, but es1988 Allegro-1 is not supported yet. :'-( driver from opendsound is the only hope for now. =Toosa= Heather wrote: > > > On Wed, 29 Nov 2000, Toosa wrote: > > > > > I've ordered and paid for $20 to www.opensound.com for the oss driver. > > > (this is for my ASUS L8400C - ES1988 Allegro-1) > > > And I've tried to download osslinux393s-2217-UP.tar.gz(94 byte). > > you said 94 bytes ??? i think it is too small try to download it again ... > > > > > but it cannot be decompressed with > > > gunzip -d osslinux393s-2217-UP.tar.gz > > > the error message is : gunzip: osslinux393s-2217-UP.tar.gz: not in gzip > > > format > > > nor by: tar -zxvf osslinux393s-2217-UP.tar.gz > > maybe it's not gzipped and it is bzipped, but someone forgets to put .bz2 > > instead of .gz > > You can use the program 'file' and ask it.
