How to get the Quick install DVD

[atreidae]

I have had a report that if you use the iso on my site as a base for a torrent, the torrent client will re download the dammaged parts.

man split

You definitely want the -b flag, and possibly -a 1 .  I just checked and it should be on most Dreamhost servers.

I did use the split flag before, maybe i just didnt have enough flags


this was the command i used last time (love you bash)

split -b 1024m LinuxMCE_0704_Quick_Install_DVD.iso

Code:

jhelwig@vfb-9:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/scd0 of=lmce.iso
jhelwig@vfb-9:~$ split -b 1024m lmce.iso lmce.iso.
jhelwig@vfb-9:~$ cat lmce.iso.a* > lmce.iso.joined
jhelwig@vfb-9:~$ md5sum lmce.iso*

That's the output I get when I read in the working DVD I had burned from the official torrent.  The split command you had works.  Not sure what was causing the corruption with your parts.
