I wonder what the difference is between
9atom.iso.bz2
and
+9atom.iso.bz2

And what is kernel.mkfs.bz2?

Thanks
Ruda

 good. So I may download and use. :)


 the usb image is the primary distribution media these days.

 I confess I don't understand. Is there a difference in the software,
 or what do you mean?

 Thanks

I think one is more recent than the other.

 And what is kernel.mkfs.bz2?

This is a kfs archive of /sys/src/9.

Hi David,

 A mirror of the 9atom CD image is available on:

 http://mirror.9grid.fr/

I am starting to feel like an idiot again.
What I can find there seems to have 0 bytes.
(see the screenshot)
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

 These are the images from today, but the ftp.9atom.org
 server is currently down. You have to look in an older
 directory.

ok :)
but the most recent (nonzero) one is then more then half a year old,

9atom-2014-07-08

What is the logic about when a image is taken?
I guess there must have been changes in the meanwhile, or
am I wrong and you take an image always when the file on 9atom.org changes?
If there have been changes, and if I use this (older) image, will I be able
to somehow get in sync with 9atom later on?

Thanks
Ruda

the one with + seems to be always (when it exists) smaller by about

The image is automatically downloaded every day, then
it is deleted if the content is identical to the last image.
