contacting Vinux Project

contacting Vinux Project

[Glenn]

Hi All,
If anyone here knows how to reach anyone in the Vinux project, let them know 
that their file on their site is too large for a CD.
The file is Vinux-3.0.2-I386.iso
It is the first file on the download site.
I tried to contact them, and I could not understand the audio challenge, I 
was able to make out three of the words, but that was apparently not enough.
Anyway, they need to know that I burned it to a DVD and it booted okay, and 
I installed onto a USB drive, and it boots okay, so I doubt that it was a 
bad download, since I downloaded it twice, and both times it read that it 
was 698 MB, yet both windows and Vinux would not burn it to a disk, saying 
it was too large for a CD.
I tried disks all day with no success.
I would have given up on it, but I'm doing this for someone who wants to try 
Vinux.

I've forwarded the mail to someone in the project.

698mb is fine for a 700 or 750mb disk, but I think there's an option you actually have to use when burning; otherwise, as you
described, it wont' happen. in the windows side of the house, this used to be called overburn, if I'm not mistaken, in Nero.

Re: contacting Vinux Project

[Glenn]

I thought that Vinux uses Speakup.
I would rather not join a special list for Vinux, since I don't use it a 
lot, and I thought that some of the folks here could help.  I am on a Ubuntu 
list, but I would probably get the same response there.
I have burned many disks, in both windows and Linux, and when the 
Ubuntu/Vinux gives you the option to burn it, and it reads the blank disk in 
the drive and reads back that there would not be enough space, even with the 
over-burn option, I'd say I did the burn process properly, but the disk was 
not big enough.

Would you tell us, how did you try to burn this image? I've never any
 problem with burning Vinux images on CD.
 Also - do you really think it's proper mailing list?

Glenn:
They probably just put a bit to much on the disk. Last time they made a 
distro they were cramming everything in, then had to go back out and 
yank a bunch of stuff. End result there was a ton of crap and they 
yanked some of the good utilities. If you can just use a DVD, I 
recommend that.

Re: contacting Vinux Project

[Glenn]

Thanks for letting someone know for me.
I did get the message while trying to burn it in Vinux, that the over-burn 
option would not help.
I was doing that attempt from the DVD I had to use for that 698 MB version I 
downloaded.
As I mentioned before, the image is a working image, I have burned it to a 
USB drive, and a DVD, but it is supposed to burn to a CD, but won't.

Yes, that is what I did yesterday, but that is a big waste.

Re: contacting Vinux Project

[Glenn]

Tyler,
The biggest waste was my time.
Here I thought that I had to be doing something wrong, trying all day to 
burn a CD in both windows and Linux, with no success until I accidentally 
put in a blank DVD, and that burned.
That was last night.
They need to download an image and test it when they put it up on the site.
