SimplyMEPIS_3.4-1.rc1.iso

MD5 should be 98f7e41c831edf260faa89331bf16140
I downloaded from Mepis ftp site and I got the same MD5.

Try to download again.

That download appears to be still uploading so you might want to wait till it's done.

try distrowatch--> http://distrowatch.com/

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.

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

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...)

Jon

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

I had to start over anyways jon, it looks like the one from distrowatch is wrong. I'm trying here-->
ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mepis

The size looks right 707,256 KB when it start's changes to 690.7MB. hope that's the right one.

yep that looks like the good one, I e-mailed Molnar from Distrowatch, I hope he's going to correct that.

still haven't completed a download yet mepis goes to 468 and stops look like it is not fully downloaded yet

Looks like there trying to fix it on distrowatch, but it's still screwed up, try clicking the download link.LOL

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...

Jon

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.

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

Jon

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.

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?
