Hmm. The ftp server must be a bit overloaded right now cause I can't get in.

A quick question.

I really like the fact that you have included helpful midi and musical score programs like Rosegarden4, Timidity and Brahms: especially Rosegarden4.

According to this (http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden/requirements.html) Rosegarden4 apparently needs ALSA (http://www.alsa-project.org) and JACK (http://jackit.sourceforge.net). Does Medialinux include these?

Cool- is there an md5sum anywhere to be found? Perhaps I missed it.

[true1ever]

On my download, I got
ab2dfa14b34a5c28c76dab829bb595b6

does this match yours?

[PeterFr]

i have downloaded iso with the following md5 : ab2dfa14b34a5c28c76dab829bb595b6

unfortunately it will not boot :-((

[true1ever]

Neither will my copy. It prints some characters on the screen and freezes. Could the ISO file be corrupt on the server?

[PeterFr]

well - the iso is probably broken ... i can mount it via loop but a lot of files are missing some data ....

[escherian]

Sorry for the inconvenience, my ISO is working , so I think there has been a problem while uploading. Tomorrow morning I will try again.
For MD5, I really didn't think about it: do you have any suggestions ?

[true1ever]

I suggest just doing an md5sum on a verified ISO file and then posting the md5sum here or on the ftp site.

Agreed, except that is should absolutely be posted on the site; don't make people who find the site track down the md5sum. Posting here also would be ok, but not instead of on the FTP site.

[escherian]

Since I'm using on my office pc a Debain Unstable up to date on 13 and used Gftp for it, It may happened something during transmission. Tomorrow I will make the MD5 checksum and try to upload a new iso.

Check it out! m.

[PeterFr]

you could try "rsync" instead ... could be MUCH faster ....

md5sum medialinux-alpha-130603.iso
9ff22258adada4c4c32572501803f7b5

Hmmmm. not sure how I managed to post the above. I was trying to post the software included but exploder crashed on that stupid wimpdoze machine- I didn't think it posted anything and here I see it's just an incomplete listing. DOH!

edit

Well ayy to answer your question: The Alsa headers are included as is Jack. I was going to post the entire software list but oi vey it's a BIG one and sort of unnecessary.

Anyway- if I get a chance I'll mount/boot the .iso I have and see what happens.

[escherian]

I just uploaded the new iso and downloaded again to make sure it works.
The MD5sum is b800cd47d8dc7aa6360309935a44cd6e .
Please let me know if you have further problems.

Thnaks in advance for your betatesting, m. :D

[true1ever]

Thank you! Works great. Nicely done.

[escherian]

Anyone have had other problems downloading the iso ?
Going on with the next one based on Knoppix 060603
Bye, m.

p.s. suggestion for inclusion/exclusion of software are all welcome, we are doing this for our school and I have some idea to remove non user friendly/buggy/old software and rearrange theme and icons.

[escherian]

I have now two confirmations, one from true1ever and one from a friend of mine: iso is working, so happy FTPiing! ;-)

I'd like to see abcde added to your distro.

[escherian]

It's already include, as you can see ftp://ftp.logx.it/mirrors/medialinux/debs(list_of_software).txt :
do you have any problem in make it working ?

ciao, m.

[escherian]

Sorry for not having said: iso starts by default with this :

knoppix lang=it xmodule=vesa

this was because we wanted people from our school ( www.vrmmp.it/formazione ) to test it at home without doing anything than change bios boot order and press return ;-)

You simply have to press f2 at the blue V logo and write:

knoppix lang=yourlanguage and xmodule=moduleforyourcard
