I have now downloaded the rescue and srcs disks several times because they fail the md5sum testing on the first pass. Is there a way to use an ftp client, specifically gftp to fetch this stuff? I can connect, but testing.fedora.redhat.com closes the connection in just a second or so. It (ftp) seems to be a much more robust protocol, it can restart from the failure point etc, whereas any mistake in the http method requires a full overwrite in order to restore, at least while using Mozilla). I've presently grabbing srcs disk 4 for the 3rd time ATM, after having had to reget disks 2 and 3 one more time to get a good checksum. Thats 2200 megabytes I should have had the first time I downloaded it. >Several Silly Q's dept: > Running 2.6.9 on an FC2 system with all ext3 filesystems, and that >'mkdvd-1.0' out of cd iso's script, can I put the src iso's on that >same RW dvd? > > Is the resultant dvd iso too big for either the filesystem or the >actual disk? > > How do I assure that such a script built dvd image remains > bootable like the disk one cd is when burning it with a recent k3b? > >-- >Cheers, Gene >"There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
