What happened to the downloads?
« on: April 08, 2010, 03:17:34 PM »
Dont mean to jump to conclusions here but I cannot find a download for LXDE Desktop anywhere. It appears to be broken and I am not seeing it on any mirrors. The Download button on the LXDE page on this site sends me to a broken link. Can anyone check this out, or tell me where I can get it?

Closing beta 2 testing as updating from synaptic can break the install now due to a needed package update.


and

Beta 2 testing is now closing. All beta iso's are now being removed except for the Openbox version. Thanks for helping test.



New iso files should be available soon.

When they're ready, the ISOs will be made available. The work is being done.

Thanks guys?  Well, I'm a guy, but I'm not so sure about MaddogF16.

ROFL!  Sorry MaddogF16!  It's been a long time since we had issues in wireless and I miss the collaboration.

Hi francis,

Great news actually!  Both the Gnome 2010 final and the KDE 2010 MiniMe final have been uploaded to the servers and are now available for download.

All the other "flavours" will be available in the coming week.

As is the norm, please use one of the mirror sites when downloading (i.e. IBIBLIO.ORG shouldn't be used as this site "feeds" the others)

Hope this helps. Have Fun!!
