I would like to share a problem I hit when trying to install runnix images from Windows recently. Obviously this does not involve low-level writing of an image files - I am talking about uncompressing/unpacking a .tar.gz to get the .run and its associated files out ready for copying over to the os directory.
Note that some versions of WinZip have a really helpful 'convert LF to CRLF' option which is set by default and hidden away on the options tag. If you use this it will screw up at least the sha file and the .conf file and your system will not boot. Guess who found out the hard way :-) regards Mart Jose Colin wrote: > thanks so much. the astlinux is working now in the CF in zonbu device. > one question. if anyone knows. how I can provisioning a POLYCOM 601 in > astlinux ? > > thanks for all people including you Cleve. for your help by the way. the > problem I post before. is because I tried to manual partition de CF then > install de runnix. astlinux. but when write the disk one sector of CF was > bad.
