Ok, I'm having some trouble getting the OpenDX software. On my home dial up connection the download stalls immediately for the redhat RPM files. I've tried it both with netscape & konqueror with right-click -> save link as. This isn't to unusual, I often have trouble with large downloads on this connection, although it ussually gets further then this. I'm not sure why.
My other option is downloading it @ work. At the moment, my only net connection is through netscape on an NT box. It appears to download Ok. I then burn it onto a CD and take it home. Now, when I try to install it, I get the following error: # rpm -i opendx-4_1_3-3_i386.rpm warning: Expected size: 27399711 = lead(96)+sigs(100)+pad(4)+data(27399511) warning: Actual size: 27501586 The samples file gives a similar error. Any idea what's going on? My suspicion is that netscape is downloading it as an ascii file instead of binary, but I don't know how to force it to binary. I've downloaded and burned the files twice with the same results, so I'm fairly sure its not a random corruption. Just an aside, but if this is an open-source project, why all the registration stuff and cgi driven download page. Why not a simple ftp site? Well, anyway, any ideas are appreciated. I look forward to trying this tool out! Thanks Eric
