Title: Packages.gz
Post by: archived on September 11, 2005, 08:53:13 pm

I am having the same problem.  Finally got my hardware in for the Core and now I am having installation difficulties.  It seems like the new ISO is about half the size of the previous version.  Could be that some of the packages have been removed from the CD and placed into the repos.  I do not know the answer to that one.  I did notice that the Packages.gz file under the deb-cache directory is empty.  I also had problems earlier where only 89MB of the 322MB ISO downloaded.  Is it possible that the ISO has been truncated some how?

Hi Walle

On this thread

Aaron notes where you can download the .28 iso.

I have installed this successfully this on my test machine that I have been getting the apt-get loop on with the .29 iso.

As Brian notes above the .28 is nearly twice the size of the .29 (636 Mb Vs 322 Mb). I do not know if the .29 iso is not complete or if it has been configured differently, maybe a PlutoHome staffer can comment?

Sorry, sorry, sorry...  Something went wrong a few days ago with the server (ran out of space) and somehow the iso got truncated.  We uploaded a new .29 iso.
