    The ISO we were given by Klaus was 4.0G

    The Check Sum for that 4G iso also checked and the test disc ran perfectly on our test systems.

    And for those that do have problems with the DL, we're happy to ship them a disc.

    I'm sorry, but that doesn't really answer my question. The FAT32 file size limit is one byte less than 4 gig. Can you tell me the exact size of the ISO file to the byte, or can you at least confirm if it does indeed comply with the FAT32 maximum file size?

    That's nice of you. I made the offer for 4.0.1 (which became 4.0.2). There were some but not too many takers; and only one ever sent me the promised "post card" I asked for in return. But I'm not going to ask for a freebie until I know I will be able to download and burn it myself, of if it really is 4 gig or slightly larger in size and too large for my FAT32 system. I'm assuming those interested in your offer should reach you by this site's Private Message feature.

    Harry - repost

    Harry - per your request ----

    The filesize of the EN version is exactly 4,344,862,720 bytes as I posted a few minutes ago.

    I tested the iso in VMware 5.5 and it ran OK.

    The MD5 sum posted on the ftp site given by Distrowatch.com matched.

    I posted this just before the post to which you replied... maybe you didn't see?

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the information. No, I did't catch the first post. The website wrapped the post after it to the second page and, as I was reading the news forum pretty actively at that point I didn't think to go back and read the previous page. Your post was within about 2 minutes of the one I saw as new. My fault.

    But the news is not good. By my calculation 4.0 gig is exactly 4294967296 butes and any file that size or over can not exist on a FAT partition. It's a shame that Klaus went over the 4 gig limit by such a small amount but still went over it, I expect a lot of downloaders on Win98 systems are going to be very disapointed, and it will take many quite some time to figure out what is going wrong.

    Now I have to figure out how I'm going to get my copy.

    Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

    Harry - a possible solution ----

    By the way, I have vision problems, so if I mis-type, please forgive.

    If you don't have already - download trial version of VMware 5.5 for your machine. Create virtual disk that can expand... on FAT32 systems, it will divide into 2gb portions. Install any system, or run live-cd, mounting temp "drive". Download full DVD into new virtual disk. Now burn to DVD, if you have DVD burner. Restart computer with DVD. If you don't have DVD burner, you can still mount and run DVD as an iso file within VMware as I did.

    Good luck!

    An interesting approach. I have not used Vmware, not sure that I'll have the time in the next week to teach this old dog new tricks. As to the "install any system" I'm not sure what I would use there. I own leagl copies of 98 I could install, but that wuld seem to get me to the same 4 gig issue. My only copy of XP is for my notebook (lacks a DVD burner), and while I have no positive feelings towards Bill Gates I'm not wanting to pirate a copy and deal with the authentication issues that come with it. Maybe Debian would be a good solution and it sure would be interesting to do a Debian install under Vmware, although I don't know how well it will support my DVD burner (but I guess that is the way to find out).

    If others take this approach to download and burn the greater than 4 gig ISO I hope they post back to these forums their experience,

    Harry - re: Vmware

    I now see that you may be running Win98 on particular machine. Don't think VMware will run on Win98. Sorry.

    If you can download to laptop, then connect to network with the other computer, perhaps you can mount DVD burner on Win98 machine as attached network device, and burn to it.

    This is a very interesting problem to solve in future for users having Win98 systems who would like to try out large distributions. We need further input on this from everyone!

    Both files are the same exact size when downloaded to disk. The mirror shows 3.99 Gig for the size in my browser. In Windows Exploder, they show 4.04 G in size. Under properties they show the following:

    4,344,862,720 bytes for the Torrent EN version.

    4,344,862,720 bytes for the FTP downloaded EN version.

    I suppose Internet Exploder has lied to me again!

    It's curious Indeed! I doubt they will fit on a FAT partiton.

    Downloaded the CD Torrent also. I'll be seeding them both for a few days or so and hope to burn them to disk in the meantime. Can't wait to see what Santa has brought THIS time. Seeing some posts in the forums with errors already.

    Harry:

    You can send me an address by PM and I'll send you a CD and a DVD. I'm burning a couple extra right now and it would be no problem to find them a good home.
