hi : when I try to download openSUSE-11.1-DVD-i586.iso, it always 251M in size , no matter which mirror site I tried. but it is said to be 4.2G. what is wrong?
Delete the original file, do a hard refresh of the page (shift+F5) and if that doesn't work, try renaming the file when it downloads (right click and "save as").
Maybe because you are trying to download with a browser that is not able to do more than 4GB.
What browser would that be? I've downloaded DVD images with Firefox, Konqueror and (yes) Lynx. I'm not sure what would cause a browser to be unable to download beyond a certain size except for disk space unless the coders specifically put in that limitation, and I'm baffled as to why they'd do that. I'm tempted to see if Mosaic still builds and try it with that. Hey, that does sound cool. Now I gotta find the Mosaic source. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
