Dear Priyadarsan,
Yes. I also feel so. That's why I decided to change my CD media, but that
also gives no positive effect. So now I plan to copy the ISO file to
another system and burn it from there. Will let you know what happens
after that.
Thanking you all for your valuable & informative suggestions.

ISOs

Dear Zaheer,
I have been using wget with -c for a long time now. Even if you do
Ctrl + c and then start again wget will start from where it has
stopped. I have never had a problem with this. Can you try booting
this ISO from some other system with different configuration. It can
be a hardware issue and that is why it is why it is not working from
your system.
Regards,
PD

Hello All,
I am trying to download some ISOs using Wget (version 1.10.x)...
I downloaded around 3 - 4 times, the same distro ISO (& a
different distro) from different sites. And after downloding,
burnt it (tried both Nautilus CD Burner & Brasero alternatively
in OpenSuse 10.1 & Dreamlinux 2.2 respectively). The system does
detect the CD and starts to boot from it ... but halts in the
loading of the kernel / initializing during booting.
Now, the problem could (or would) be, because I am stopping Wget,
by Ctrl-C, when I leave every morning for office (I usually
unplug the monitor and leave the system ON overnight for
downloading) and resume it after I reach back home. But sadly,
none of these ISO downloads have returned me a successful result.
I also tried Ctrl-Z for stopping Wget (which 'seems' to be the
right way to pause Wget), but even that is giving the same
result.
So... could somebody tell me the correct way to pause Wget when
downloading big ISOs? My case is, I would have to pause the
download in between and then resume later. Or is Wget not
suitable for this sort of activity? I've searched & read some
help / info / manuals on Wget, but none of them seems to give a
specific reply to this issue. Even now, I am parallely trying to
get more info on Wget.
The syntax which I used is given below:
wget -c

I would like to know anyone is holding the mandriva 2008
installfest.If any one is interested please check their site and mail
them.
Otherwise I am interested in conducting it my college for our
students on behalf of our FLOSS cell.Please reply soon as I have to
decide based on ILUG response.They informed me that the person who
contacts them is made in charge of the town,so I wondered what the
ILUG might be doing in this matter.

The Linux users may like to counter this argument of m$ and to show
to
the authorities the right direction.
This is a good chance to demonstrate our capabilities.
