Thanks, John
I am not sure about my file system, but I feel that is the problem, I will
check it soon. You are so great!


My computer
Choose boot disk (probably c:), right-click, properties
See the "filesystem" line.

If it's NTFS, the file's size isn't your problem.



Regards!
Carl

Hi, Troy
Thanks for your reply. I didn't use http cause it take long time and once
disconnected the downloading file will be lost. I will try using other
downloading soft like bt as Igor suggested.

Are you downloading with Windows using a FAT filesystem?

Does it support files over 4 Gbytes?

If _that_ is your problem, either change your computer or use the CD images
or add a USB drive and format it NTFS, then download directly to that. an 8
Gbyte flash drive would be the minimum.

Hi,all!

I am new to linux, but I want to try it now. Cause I am studying in a
adademic institute, so I find S. L. . Hope to learn from you in the


future $B!* (B


My question is, when I download S.L. 5.2 from
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/52/iso/  , I use
flashget, the project finished 99% but always fail at the last 1%, the
error message said there is error when writing to files. I tried
download to another partition but fail again. Does anybody knows why?
Thanks!

Carl


Hi Carl,
I've never used flashget, so I am not positive about my answer, but some
people have had their download problems fixed simply by using http
instead of ftp.  So the first thing I would try would be to download from

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/52/iso/

Re: Can anyone install VLC ?

Hello all,

if I try to install vlc with yum, I get the following error:

-
Error: Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libcucul.so.0 is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package 
gstreamer-plugins-ugly
-

Does anyone know of a repository where the needed dependencies can be
found?

In addition to the standard SL5.2 repos, I already have: atrpms,
centos-addons, centos-extras, centosplus, dag, dries, epel,
epel-debuginfo, epel-source, freshrpms, kbs-centos-extras,
kbs-centos-testing, utterramblings.

Thanks for your comments...

Andrea


Hi Andrea,
I am able to install it on a basic SL machine, it's in our dag repository.

yum --enablerepo=dag install vlc

And it just installs.
But it is *quite* likely that if you have all of those different repo's 
enabled, that it's not going to install because of conflicting versions 
or package names.
I'm not saying that each repo won't install it's own, or even that many 
will not work together (I haven't had a problem with dag or atrpms 
stepping on each other), but when you add *that* many different styles 
and repo's, you are bound to start having problems.

Re: Icon Application Panel

Can someone tell me which icon is used as icon for the Application
Panel (I'm using Gnome with the default Clearlooks theme). Although I
could find several "start-here" icons, none of them seem the one
(replacing it and restarting the panel doesn't have any effect).

I'd like to change it into the a "Scientific Linux" icon, but so far
without succes.

Patrick


Which release is this SL3, SL4, or SL5?

Sorry, I'm running SL5.3RC (but had the same trouble with 5.2).
