The fastest one for me this morning (8 minutes vs. over an hour on ibiblio) was http://debian.ethz.ch/mirror/pclinuxos/live-cd/... plus it lets ibiblio rest.


Good point - I didn't realize it was going to the mirrors for thus I used the ibiblio link.

Shop the mirrors for best d/l speeds.  ;D

I wouldn't join something in Google, sorry.

Nevertheless I'd want to test the 64 bit PCLOS. How or where can I get the .iso?

After suspending on my Acer overnight, on wake up the video is jittery and jumping all over the place. I am running an ATI ‎RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M] using the ATI Radeon X1950 and earlier driver.  The only way to cure the jitters on the machine is o shutdown the X server and restart it than the jitters are gone.

Also noticed that when I go to correct a spelling error during a post when doing a right mouse click on the misspelled word the browser crashes. It has done this 3 times now. Perhaps the jittery window had something to do with this. Maybe a complete reboot is necessary instead of just restarting X.


UPDATE: Tried rebooting the machine and it kept complaining that it could not find the command. IE: I issued the command reboot and also as root tried shutdown -h now.  But a "REISUB" done the job

Everything now seems to work normally now


System: Acer Aspire 3100 - 2 gig memory - ATI Xpress200 - 500Gb hard drive - Atheros AR2413 802.11bg wireless

Didn't install, working in LiveCD.

Using Copy to RAM at boot says:
Quote
No space left on device
Copy 2 RAM failed
Nevertheless after booting it seems loaded to RAM (is very fast). free says there's enough free memory:
Quote
[guest@localhost guest]$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4059252 2106260 1952992 0 171056 1286964
-/+ buffers/cache: 648240 3411012
Swap: 0 0 0
[guest@localhost guest]$

Configuring the videocard to Geforce 6100 to Geforce 360 crashes X (I guess) with a message on a black screen
Quote
acpid: client 3621[0:0] has disconnected
acpid: connected from 5462[0:0]
acpid: 1 client rule loaded
After that no mouse and no KB, raising elephants doesn't work, hard reboot.
This happens when Loaded to RAM and in the default boot option.

Volume too low for me.
Kmix seems to not work - slider for volume doesn't actually change the volume
I can hear the mouse moves in the headphones ;-) Entertaining.

When I do PCC-->Sound configuration-->Advanced-->Reset sound mixer to default values sound disappears and doesn't get back on logout/login.

Did I miss something here...?

I installed my usual extra software, and did a update.

Everything works.

The 32-bit kde4.xx version always made my youtube videos jerky.  In here that does not happen.

VLC plays fine, dolphin is great, so is Firefox.

How is this a test version.......?

On two machines I tested I had audio troubles. (yes reported)

One of them I could not raise the volume level from barely audible (will all sliders maxed) no matter what I tried.
That uses a SB Live! audio card .....  which has been the most reliable card I found over the years for use in Linux.

Has anyone else seen anything similar?

The second machine has on board audio and the incorrect channel was selected for Master ....  changing the Kmix vol control master to Front, and raising the actual Master vol to max, allowed a working method.

regards.

Have a Gigabyte motherboard and using onboard sound, I had similar issue with low audio. Kmix workaround did not help.
