Well, I tried with MS ftp command line client but that doesn't have passive mode. I tried with IE which does have passive but only got partial download then error. I tried with NcFTP which has passive mode but passive mode is denied by your server or my firewall. Next I am going to try NcFTP from my DMZ.

It looks like stallion completly transfered. The size should be 159,365,120 bytes. I had to name it stallion2.iso.2nd because it was the second attempt and I couldn't overwrite or delete the first attempt. vff4.iso is transfering now. It is named vff4.iso.4th and the size should be 156,219,392 bytes.

Few people already mentioned that problem, but we can't recognize the problem here. Can you maybe try wget instead Web Browser and maybe report what happens then?

Steve F,

Got the stallion. Sorry about the connection. Cable modem is I a bit flaky today. It was -31C this morning here.

skrat,

Yea seems to be working fine with wget or curl. Browsers just give up.

Thanks!

Is there a simple way to get one of these CDs to change the default homepage without remastering. That seems a lot of work for little return.

Since stallion2 is a Morphix CD and my choice, I moved this line of thought to here.

Thanks, I tried to reply to your post on Morphix.org but my account is buggered and I can't reach the administrator.

I tried putting a prefs file in /copy. The problem is that at the time the copy is executed during boot, the home directories haven't been created by Firefox. You will get the prefs.js file where it is supposed to be but when Firefox starts up it sees a profile with the wrong directory premissions and believes it is already in use. It asks you to create a new profile but then refuses to save it because the .mozilla directory created during the /copy part is owned by root. I also tried putting a script in the /exec directory to set the premissions for user morph (which is the user it will run as), but it seems that the /exec process runs before the morph user is created or something else is wrong. I'm close to solving it but I won't get a chance to try changes until tomorrow.

Steve F, Thanks for sharing. I was hoping not to have to find that all out on my own as I expected as much. Have you tried just mkdir /home/morph? Any way I can help troubleshoot something to save you a step?
