Yesterday I downloaded the new minirt910.gz under Windows 8.1 using the Opera browser. As happened with version 90, the download failed the md5 checksum and was almost 3X the byte count expected. I then booted up Knoppix 8.6.1 and downloaded the file again but using Firefox (as I don't have Opera installed in Knoppix). Windows gave the right md5 sum for this download, and the byte count was as expected. Finally, I downloaded the file a third time, this time again under Windows, but using the Firefox browser. This download had the same byte count and the same (correct) md5 sum as the download made under Knoppix. I should probably add that I was running Opera in VP mode (as I am now), but there were no error messages or any other indication of a problem during the download.

I prepared a screensave of the three properties showing the size of the failed Opera download and the correct checksums of the two Firefox downloads, but couldn't figure out how to upload them. The only icon for inserting an image asks for a URL. Is it just that I don't have enough seniority to upload images from my hard drive, or is this a universal restriction? I don't have a website anymore, so this restriction will make it hard for me to display problems via screensaves.

The size Windows gives for the Opera download is 67.5 MB (70,810,112 bytes), while the other two are 24.8 MB (26,104,504 bytes)

I'm still looking forward to installing Knoppix 9.1 (while also trying to secure a copy of 9.2 from Linux-Magazine), after which I hope to discover how to install and use minirt910.

Thanks,
