Have you tried a different mirror to download from, some download sites are like that, takes too long (timed out).
Try to use an ftp site.

HI tried that all the same they cant find the page

Junior Hacker · 02-10-2007, 03:05 PM

I'm a thinkin'

It must be poor internet connection or firewall/browser settings/configuration, I went to mepis site and tried this one:

ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/li...butions/mepis/

And it started downloading (DVD), I'm on dial up. Which operating system/browser did you try from? Woops, got the answer, can't help with Mac Safari.

well junior I try that and still no luck i get this [the op cant be completed cause one or more required items cant be found error-43] never had a problem with D/Ls before.
what i am wanting is a live cd Iso that i can boot from and access GET parted. mepis seems good as article tells old man how to hanle the linux enviroment which i have never seen yet.
thanks.

Well I know nothing about macs or safari, but there is a possibility Murphy's Law is at work. February 10 was the scheduled release date for Mepis 6.0-4. Could be something (how's that for vague?) going on with the mirrors with this addition.

otoh it could be coincidence.

edit/ try to start an ftp transfer of ubuntu
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUb...currentrelease

if that transfer also fails, wait on someone with mac advice. There's a few mac users here.

Or are you having difficulty even reaching this page?

Hi fellas got a mate of mine to try from a pc he cant get down load either.
yes muddy i got to that link i have dload mepis 6 but the article is for 3.3 will that trow me or be the same ?
cheers thanks

Ah,the problem is Mepis 3.3 is no longer on the mirrors, gotcha.

I can't think of any tools on 3.3 that are not also available on 6.0.

btw a search shows no member grim 322. There is a member grim322 but a search for posts came up empty. Can you link it for us?

A better soloution might be creating another thread stating exactly what you are trying to do. If the machine is a mac be sure to mention that also.

Hello thanks to all who responded. Will as suggested start new thread.
