Thanks Chris. The point was missed... perhaps I didn't point it out...
I had no idea what I was meant to be downloading.
In the Linux world (and you guys have pointed this out many times),
mirrors aren't always up to date.
I had no idea what file I was looking for.
People said 'use the live cd'. There was no reference I could find to
'live cd'.
:)
I had a play with a couple of the mirrors metioned on the MEPIS site.
As I expected, the ibiblio one seems to be the fastest.
This is the URL of the file you need:-
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mepis/released/SimplyMEPIS_6.0_i386.iso
and check it against the md5sum here:-
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mepis/released/SimplyMEPIS_6.0_i386.md5sum
Thanks.
I tested both.
Orcon seem to have problems with OS links right now.
TC were having issues last week.
I complained yesterday and something seems to have been done.
SCX had a problem last 3 weeks, it's throw everyone in the market upside
down who didn't have 100% protected connections.
Mark from Internode.com.au presented a really interesting write up about
the problem on www.whirlpool.net.au - for anyone who's interested.
The file is now due in 3.5 hours (that's ok) which is much faster than
the 8 hours that your link forcast.
I know that profanity sometimes escapes when one is frustrated, but please
try to keep it out of the written word.
I assumed the server had a user option to just drop out mine, Nicks and
Riks profanity... :p
Yes, Dad, sorry :)
Cheers Don :)
