Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 ISO image too large?

Hi Sean,
No, I'm still stuck. We're supposed to be configuring this RaQ3 for a customer to host his web content, but I've got no way of installing a new OS. I've used Nero, EasyCD v4/v5, and KOnCD (Xwindows) in my attempts to burn the RaQ3-original.iso. Nero complains the ISO is too large, and even refuses to overburn it (Yamaha writer), EasyCD Creator (4 Deluxe/5 Platinum) complains that the image is corrupt/damaged, and KOnCD burns a shiny coaster. I've downloaded the image three times now (once as a gzip, twice uncompressed).
Although the README in the /pub/iso dir states that the size of the iso is normal, I've not had any luck with it. I was almost hoping I could find an 86 minute CD haha.

Subject: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 ISO image too large?


Hello,

   I'm trying to re-install the operating system on a Cobalt RaQ3.
I've downloaded the image from ftp.nl.cobalt.com, and after gunzip'ing
it I found the image size to be 766Mb - obviously too large even for an
80min CD.  Now, the readme.txt states that the size in bytes does not
correctly identify the actual image size, and that I can burn this image
on a standard 650Mb disc.  I've tried and tried to burn the software
(using Nero), but to no avail.  The software complains that the image is
too large to burn - if I force it to overburn the disc, I produce a
wonderfully useless coaster.  Any ideas on how I should go about this?

   Thanks in advance!

   P.S. Is there any reference/guide I should know about in regards to
re-installing the OS on any of the Cobalt RaQ or Qube systems?
