Knoppix 5.0.1

**torp** · 06-06-2006, 08:07 PM

wow. 5.01 is very nice. the installer is smooth. the choices of applications are just right (like shopping at ace hardware vice super walmart). sweet. i did notice some of the error messages I got were in german. but it's all good. can't wait to go apt-get with it and add all my fav applications.

Hi

I am d'loading the CD from the link at www.DesktopLinux.com.

No MD5 is listed however.

I tried looking at the Purdue site. They have the CD listed, but no MD5 either!!!

Anyone know this?

Well, shame on you for not downloading from the "Get Knoppix" link near the top of this page and for not using BitTorrent (which would have included the md5 sum). But the md5 for the 5.0.1-EN CD is:
653acc801d4059598bd388de8171a20d *KNOPPIX_V5.0.1CD-2006-06-01-EN.iso

Sorry I can't use bitTorrent on this computer.

Everytime the download rate goes much over 100 megs/sec the computer crashes. That's with everything. So bitTorrent is a no-go.

Thanks for the MD5

I can't use bittorrent or edonkey on this system, so I've been attempting to download the 5.01 DVD ISO from the mirrors. The big problem I'm having is that the downloaded image is 47.8 Mb, not 4 Gb. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What is the filesystem you are downloading Knoppix to? Is it FAT16 or FAT32? The 5.01 DVD iso image is above 4GB so it can be downloaded to NTFS or ext2/ext3 filesystems only.

Attempting to download it to an NTFS drive. Tried on 3 different systems and have had no luck so far

Even though you have a NTFS system (and I assume XP) , you might be using a software tool that has the same limitations that FAT32 partitions do (Heck, Microsoft's own networking under Win98 will not transfer files larger than 2 gig!). I would suggest that you try a different tool.

I too had this problem. I downloaded the file onto my Knoppix Linux box with reiserfs file system using ftp (bittorrent is too slow for me) and then I wanted to transfer the file over to my windows box that has the DVD burner. When I transferred the file using apache webserver, the received file was always 47 Mb. I solved it by transferring the file using proftp and the full 4.1 Gb file then showed up and I was able to burn a DVD.

Hope that helps in some way.

I think you may have helped convince some people that it can be an application issue, not just a psrtition issue. But as to BitTorent, my experience is just the opposite; it is much faster than any of the mirrors for me. And I have a friend with a high speed pipe who got the CD on Monday in just 20 minutes on BitTorrent (and he was behind a university firewall). BT is only slow if you don't configure the firewalls properly.
