marhleet ... Howdy,

Well yes, the disc would have been mass produced, but it would have likely been a pressing i think, a rom process, probably burnt to a glass master then pressed. I'm not fully sure there. I don't think they do a burn as such though.

And considering that mags will collate their publications and begin the production process well in time before the issue date, i figure they must have had one of the initial iso images. It has been a funny year my end, for mag disc issues (grin)

But i'm not really concerned there. As it basically just quirks up the persistant knoppix.img facility. If anything, it provided ... or rather, forced, an interesting trace exercise. An is workable by customising the knoppix.sh. Besides, i'm a bit bandwidth limited anyway (grin).

I was trying to get some confirmation, or feed back on just what the reason may have been though. To get some clarification on just what may have been going on. Which i have been able to get . Thus the 'closure' post.

Certainly an extensive release, around 11 Gbs on the hdd which surprised me.

=============================================


Howdy donkeyass,

Just looked at some google links for 'c2duo'

http://www.bytesatwork.be/shop/produ...0&cat=0&page=1

Which is on a Asus board with c2duo support. I've got a Asus A8V Delux .. not a bad board really, but i have seen post complaining about some aspects, such as pata and something else i can't remember being problematic in Linux. But that was over 12 mounths ago. I haven't had any problem with it but then i don't use much of its' facillities. Just the ide controllers. lm-sensors, in its' config, did mention that the chipset used for the sensors feed back facility was one of those that they had to work on, and do a bit of guessing with. As Asus wasn't that keen on providing clear specs for it. But that still works fine.


I don't like the obvious MS bias that Asus seem to have either. I won't be doing Asus next time thats for sure ... Tyan maybe, as iv'e read a few posts that seem to give them a good Linux recommendation. Will look closer there myself next time (grin).

You didn't actually mention the board your using ... an the google link above rattles on about the benifits of using only 'Genuine MS' products. Which gets my antennas twitching.

There wouldn't be some issue with the pentium dual core processor or the board would there, in that respect. I guess it would be more likely a board issue (chipset lock down ?) rather than the processor. But considering MS, and in light of this Novell scam that they have instigated ... i wouldn't be surprised about anything that lot come up with anymore (grin).

What is the actual board ?, but then you say ...

>>
and even ubuntu and backtrack
>>

There's your clincher ...

You don't mention anything on just what the kind of problem was/is though. And for the ubuntu attempt as well.

Running 'memtest' on the ram should verify that at least.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
