Hi all, i'm having a problem and I'm not sure whether I'm hosed or if there's a way to continue without redownloading everything. After downloading the majority of FC3 from the site John has so kindly made available, I thought I was ready to start my install. However, before I knew about John's site, I downloaded some of the isos from linux-speakup, and I don't remember now which isos I got from which site. At the time, I assumed they were the same version. At any rate, after I burned my disks, the first problem I noticed was that for some reason, my disk 1 wasn't bootable. I then burned the boot.iso image from that disk, which booted fine. I thought I was off and running, the install asked me all of its questions and began chugging along on disk 1. However, it then asked for disk 2. I put in what should have been disk 2 and was told "wrong cd-rom". So, now what? I don't know if the isos on John's site are a different version, or if one of the disk 2 isos is really not disk 2, or if I got a bad download of something... grumble! Is there a way to identify the disks and/or versions by looking at the directories? Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 24+ messages in thread

Unfortunately, this problem you've stumbled into is all too common, especially for people installing for the first time. If you already have Linux, you can run what's called an md5sum check on the downloaded image files, and also on your burned disks. This is the only sure way to tell you haven't mixed versions--and it's extremely important not to mix versions as you've now discovered. If you can't run md5sum, for example because you only have Windows now, you can certainly look at the iso file byte size and date stamps. That should indicate whether or not you've mixed versions. I'm very sorry, but you'll need to get a complete set in order to install successfully.

Hi Al: Well, your post below has revealed one thing to me; i.e., that it is the "receiving" computer which furnishes the time and date stamps. My time and date stamps vary more significantly than yours do because the entire exercise of retrieving the 02/19/2005 images was necessarily spread out over forty plus hours, given the 10K-12K download speed I was dealing with. However, this I can tell you; the images I downloaded were all date-stamped 02/19/2005, with times between 4:15 a.m. and 4:22 a.m.; hence, they are all from the same set. If you want to go through the exercise of downloading them all again from my site, you're certainly welcome, though that exercise will take you 10-12 hours, and will also, like as not, necessitate your interrupting sleep to start successive iso image downloads. However, if you begun now, you'd be able to install tomorrow. Oh, wait, I just now remember what Sena has written, so, if you're not that windows averse (and have access to a windows box), you can do a check sum to see what's going on. If you do download all the disks again from my site and experience the same problem, please let me know as this would mean that I don't have a legitimate or functioning set; something I need to know if in fact that is the case. As I'm leaving for an overnight social engagement, don't expect any further emails from me for the next sixteen hours or so.

Hi john, Again, thanks very much for posting these and allowing those of us on the list access to them. At this point though, I think I'm going to download the regular FC3 isos and do a BRLTTY install. I'll worry about speakup after the fact. At this point, I think this will be the quickest solution. If you get a chance though, you might want to check your disk 1 image, as there seems to be a problem in that it isn't bootable for some reason. As I said, I downloaded several images from your site and several from the main ftp site. However, the sum of disk1 didn't match the one on the main ftp so I'm assuming I got that one from you.

Interesting. What I know for sure based on sighted assistance is that if I attempt to boot disk 1, the text "boot from CD" flashes for a few seconds, and then the system falls back to booting Windows. My first thought was that my boot sequence was messed up, but the boot.iso works just fine. Weird. If I have the same problem with disk 1 of the regular set, maybe I'll try booting it from the other rom on this machine to see if it makes a difference. --Al ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Nowak" <greg@romuald.net.eu.org> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 10:10 PM Subject: Re: instalation problem-- was Re: fc3 download > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I seem to recall that there were posts some time back on the list > indicating that disc1 of fc3 didn't boot on some machines, and did > boot on others.

Gregory is correct. There are systems which boot disk one, and others which cannot boot from disk one. The solution is to create a disk expressly for the purpose of booting. To create this boot disk, use the iso image under images/boot.iso on the first disk. Second point: John, please run an md5sum check on the images at jamsite. md5sum -c MD5SUM Gregory Nowak writes: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I seem to recall that there were posts some time back on the list > indicating that disc1 of fc3 didn't boot on some machines, and did > boot on others.

Hi, Sina: I hope they come through. 20 Gb isn't that much in today's on line world. I think it useful if we have several options, so I hope that both your North Carolina site and the Canadian site I'm working on will mirror Speakup. But, I'm also very pleased that Cheap Bytes is now an option for anyone who can't, or doesn't want to download the Speakup Modified Fedora for whatever reason. Getting 4 disks in the mail for around $10 USD just isn't that bad. To my mind, it's great to give people options. We're beginning to have a few more options, and that's a good thing.
