Well, I got silo 0.8.5 from ultrapenguin dist. Now I get the following error: Read error on block 513676 Internal error while loading physical blocks from device I checked the CD medium: it does not contains any error. The CD is 257361 2K-sectors long (ie. 514722 blocks if I suppose a block size of 1024, right ?). What's wrong now ? I tried a compressed ramdisk. Do I need to uncompress it before putting it on the CD ? Do the files being read by silo have to reside at the beginning of the disk ?
