I haven't had any Email from os2genau lately so I don't know whether it is being blocked again by TPG. Could someone Email me privately (amoht at tpg dot com dot au) confirming that it is being received? "After reading about the Voyager project I have tried to download and burn the Enlightenment OS. The elite.iso was about 700M but the download stopped at 374M. Tried this again with same result. Then was successful by running Forlog at the same time. However on dragging the elite.iso to the recorder window of RSJ the burning process started but screen froze after a short while . Rebooted and tried again with same result. Then tried copying the elite.iso to a DVD intending to try burning it with Nero in WinXP. Copying was completed but before I could finalize it the screen froze. Rebooted and same thing happened. As I have burned CD's and DVD's from iso's before, I can't understand why this is happening. There was another file Elive*.md5 with the Elive.iso. This seems to hold a check sum. How does one use it to check whether the download is faulty? Each time the screen has frozen I couldn't hot boot eCS as the booting process stopped after detecting the amount of memory. I had to switch off completely and then reboot. Does RSJ write something to the Bios for this to happen?

I guess it is for files larger than 2Gb :-) I'm sure I've also seen a more recent one around, I'll have a look or it could even be at os2ports dot com or hobbes or somewere.

Is this a different download program that you were able to D/L the ISO ok with ? Forlog is a program that prevents cutoff from the server due to any inactivity during a long download. I think it works by sending a regular signal to the server. >>As I have burned CD's and DVD's from iso's before, I can't understand >>why this is happening.

One possibility, also depends on if you have, and use, a "fast boot" option in the BIOS screens.

You should find a copy of the MD5 calculator on the eCS installation CD. Look in \ECS\BIN. I've always understood that you can't use copy wizard to burn an iso image as all you get is a copy of the iso file on the CD and this won't boot.

My eCS installation and DFSee CDs have all been burned using the Copy Wizard, and they boot fine. -- Chuck McKinnis Covenant Solutions http://www.7cities dot net/~mckinnis/os2/ 505-286-3191 Bigamy: One wife too many.
