Greetings, finished downloading SimplyMEPIS_3.4-1.rc1.iso, my md5 does not match yours.
yours: 98f7e41c831edf260faa89331bf16140
mine: 3c265e89b736a693226017e41b727713
Also when attempting to burn image I get with Nero as burner note, this message:
The entered block size does not correspond to the image lenght. The block size may be wrong.

That download appears to be still uploading so you might want to wait till it's done.
try distrowatch--> http://distrowatch.com/

DoS Anyone?

Ah yes, Warren finally makes an "official" announcement, says "check the mirrors", and the mirrors are wrong, incomplete or "in-process" 
I'm still trying to get to the link you pointed to kerry. So far, no go. I guess I'll have to be patient too DAMMITDAMMITDAMMIT! 
I'm on a different computer, so I don't have my subscription info handy; although I don't know that that would make much difference.

What?

I'm still downloading from distrowatch right now. It's wierd though this iso is only 480.3mb. So it's smaller than all other versions of mepis. You want me to e-mail it to you jon?LOL

New Delivery Method

I think you're on to something kerry. Why don't we start emailing the ISO to everyone with gmail accounts and we'll see if we can make Google notice LOL.
Nah, I've done without the 3.4 version so far, I guess I can be patient FOR FIVE MORE MINUTES, but after that, I'm done, I've had it, I'm gonna switch back to Wind... WHAT AM I SAYING??!!!
I'm fine now. I'll sit here quietly (dum de dumm...)

I don't know why it says 480

I don't know why it says 480 MB on distrowatch, it's 690.7MB.

Folks, don.ward, at this link:
http://www.mepis.org/node/8356
points to this spot:
http://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mepis/SimplyMEPIS_3.4-1.rc1.iso
But don't directly click on it or you'll get garbage. Instead, right-click and "Save Link as...".
I'm downloading now, 75% done, approx 30 min. left. So I should be done by Friday 
Next, we'll see if the md5sum stands up...

There's no reserfs in qtparted. I usally use all reserfs but i guess this time i have to go with ext3. I hope they put reserfs back on in the next version.
never mind you can still select it in install. 

Finished The Download

The link above seems to stand up. I just finished the download and the md5sum matches. So far, so good.

Kerry, regarding (non-existent) reiserfs: There's a command called convertfs that you can load from apt. Once loaded, from the command line enter (as root, on unmounted file system):
convertfs /dev/hdsomething ext3fs reiserfs
You'll receive a scary message that the world will no longer be the same, and you must respond with AN EXACT PHRASE, Upper- and lowercase, to continue. On an empty file system it runs very quickly.

it's cool jon

i just wanted to install on reiserfs and when i went to format with qtparted it didn't have it. But when you get to the pick your file system you can choose reiserfs. I did not find out till i installed. 
This new mepis also seems slower to me.Also the auto updater is disabled in FF 1.5.Why do that?
