Hi Ima,
don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Windows in any of its forms is
perfect..... I have the occassional dig at the "1/2 eaten apple" users in
fun.... it was purely an observation that various negative terms are applied
to the Windows OS by some *nix users and, as far as I could see there are
very few (comparitively) negative terms aplied to *nix OS by Windows
users...could this because *nix is perfect?....
... I don't know ... I use Windows and know 98SE is the most stable 16bit
dependant OS out of the Windows stable and have heard that XP Prof is the
most stable out of the 32bit stable... no wish to start a flame war... hell
if I could go back to CP/M and still be useful for work etc I would....
... as for FGLive...I have a 543MB ISO courtesay of Bittorrent.. and will
burn it tomorrow onto a CD-RW... what's this MD5 stuff?
Regards
:-D ene

..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
