A good question... I do remember that there are two different opensolaris 2008.11 iso image downloads available, with these MD5 checksums: (From http://dlc.sun.com/osol/opensolaris/2008/11/osol-0811-hashes.txt ) Live CD ISO images: (osol-0811.iso) = 23176e28d47e61777f6d246e459b795d (osol-0811-global.iso) = c8d8b9961b4a58ad477847573156901e The first one contains only "primary languages" support, uses gzip compression, and is too big for standard CD-R media !! The second one contains support for "all languages", uses the better lzma compression, and fits on a standard CD-R media. When I look around at the opensolaris.com site almost all download links seem to point to the big gzip compressed osol-0811.iso image, and the information that this download doesn't fit on a standard capacity CD-R / CD-RW media cannot be found. In case Fernando did download the osol-0811.iso media (according to the subject that appears to be the case), either a special 80 minute CD-R should be tried for burning, or a DVD recordable media. Or the osol-0811-global.iso image should be downloaded, that one should fit on a 75 minute CD-R media. The only thing that remains confusing is that the windows cd recording program reported an error for block 202304; that block is somewhere around the 44 minute mark. I'd expect that recording doesn't start at all, or that recording aborts near the end of the media after recording ~ 75 minutes of data. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
