Finish the download, but using rsync. rsync will synchronise your local file to the remote one without having to re-download anything, QED. It patches as necessary on the fly. rsync is everything that FTP always should have been. -- Regards, Ron. [AU] - sent by Linux.

Re: [Cooker] 2 Cows were in a field
thx... I am going to take my chances... I am uh... currently using a Windoze machine to acquire the ISO image. so I don't know if "trimming" is possible. I am going to stay on this list... seems to have linux knowledge I desire. Maybe I will be windowless soon. That is the ultimate plan for mandrake 7.0. I have been using mandrake off and on since mandrake 5.3. I am still somewhat shackled to the world of windows. My basic qualifications to release me from the gates chains are easy connection to the internet a good Xwindows webcam program so I can keep my cam site going also to get the winnov vid capture card working there are drivers for this but I have yet to really DIG in and get that working... also flawless or somewhat flawless Cd Burning... and Mp3 Rippin. Take Care Chris
Re: [Cooker] 2 Cows were in a field
You may be able to recover the download ... but you have to make sure you do it from the image you started with ;) You have a partial file on your hard drive, and know approx. how much of you you need to trim off the end to make it "ok" you could do something like this: /backup/cdwork (/dev/pts/2) dwild@argo> ls -l mandrake70.iso -rw--- 1 dwildadm 327155712 Jan 16 22:06 mandrake70.iso /backup/cdwork (/dev/pts/2) dwild@argo> du -m mandrake70.iso 312 /backup/cdwork (/dev/pts/2) dwild@argo> dd if=mandrake70.iso \ of=recovered_mandrake70.iso bs=1M count=310 ^^ This would take the first 310MB of the file mandrake70.iso and save it in recovered_mandrake70.iso ... if you had continued the wrong file for 30s you probably didn't get more than 100-200k or so...but to be on the safe side trim 2m off what "du -m" tells you (du always "rounds" up .. well it doesn't really round, see the man page if you want to know what it's really doing =) ) Remember to rename your original so you have a backup copy, then rename your new file (recovered_mandrake70.iso) to the real name. You should then be able to resume your download and have a valid CD image when you're donecheck the "md5sum" output when you're done to make sure. Also make sure you're getting the same copy of the iso or you'll waste your time. -dws PS I tested this using dd version 4.0 (dd --version) and ncftp -- picked "resume" after trimming a 1008k file to 950k. md5sum, diff, and gunzip -t all showed the trimmed then resumed file to be error-free. welcome to the wonders of linux black magic ;) On Sun, 16 Jan 2000, Christopher De Long wrote: > Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2000 21:41:53 -0500 > From: Christopher De Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Cooker] 2 Cows were in a field > > Ok...

[Cooker] 2 Cows were in a field
Ok... I have been downloading mandrake 70.iso for 3 days now. I know silly of me to do huh? When I was downloading the Oxygen ISO at 90% the final came out...so I could not resume for some reason.A friend of mine has dsl and so he downloaded it for me and put it on a personal ftp server. I was able to resume and finish. I installed it so I could test it while I confirmed the new ISO was indeed the final version release. This was confirmed. So I started downloading the latest ISO from the 2 cows site. everything was fine .. until.. at 90% the ftp server disconnected and wouldn't let me reconnect. So I keep trying to connect.I finally do reconnect. Low and behold there is a new ISO file in the folder. Mandrake 6.1.1 ISO. before I realized ... since I was getting use to resuming and resuming. I selected the mandrake6.1.1 file. I chose resume ... Well normally if it was the WRONG file I was resuming to it would tell you. well it didn't so for about 30 secs I resumed the 6.1.1 file to the 7.0 file. What I am asking is this. My logic says the download is now corrupted. My stubborness says... finish the download anyway. Is logic correct? Take Care all Chris PS anybody here use the g400 max with Mandrake 7.0?
