shonen Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 pitty I have capped my shitty aussie internetz. 40gb just don't cut it. Quote
Seshan Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Heh, I was downloading it and it was suppose to be done in 20 min then the speed just dropped and it said it was going to be over 2 hours. So I went to pause it and try the torrent but I accidentally canceled it :( Quote
Charles Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Oh awesome! Download going to take a while. 22KB/sec. I'm getting it via torrent too. Quote
Rkiver Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Yoink! Can't wait to have a look around. Quote
digip Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Given the fact that they just went live a few minutes ago, you can imagine their servers for the ISO are going to be getting raped at this point with everyone goign there. I was lucky to snag it yesterday or the day before, when no one was downloading it heavily. Quote
Charles Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I wonder if I'll have to do anything special to get the iso to boot off my multipass. Quote
Netshroud Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 pitty I have capped my shitty aussie internetz. 40gb just don't cut it. You think that's bad? I only get 30GB :( I'll have to get a friend to DL it for me. Ooh, they have a VMware image (Virtual Appliance). Quote
macrohard Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Nice, but I had use torrent to download (not to bad, seems to have enough seeders at the moment) Quote
digip Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 @backtracklinux BackTrack 4 Download Traffic is insane. 2000+ downloads up to now. If mirrors get bogged up, torrent is the way to go. about 3 hours ago from web Quote
dr0p Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 First thought: woot official BT torrent. Will test it out on my laptop, see how well it plays with my hardware. Quote
Charles Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Holy crap that's a lot of downloads. Wish I had a laptop to see how it handles the hardware. =/ Quote
shift Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Has anyone tried to use unetbootin-windows-377.exe on this to make a bootable flash drive. I have tried 3 times and keep getting a boot error when i try to boot of the usb drive. Quote
Seshan Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 I've used unetbootin to make a bootable sd card. Quote
barry99705 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Well so far it doesn't support the wifi card in the hp mini 1150. Stupid broadcum cards..... Works with my no name raylink based usb adapter though! Probably put Ubuntu 9.10 back on the hp. Quote
digip Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Most the ralink cards work cause they are prism based. My Linksys is an rt73 card and works pretty well once you install the enhanced drivers, and chuck the usb ones shipped with the default install. Havent tried BT4 in my laptop yet, but BT2 and 3 supported my broadcom card, but its an older one, so probably better drivers for it. Quote
shift Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Well i got it loaded on a different usb stick, how ever it will not see my usb wifi card where as the 3.0 dvd cd image did. Quote
Xtrato Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Anyone experiencing any problems with the VMware image running very slowly? Even with VMware tools installed? Quote
digip Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Anyone experiencing any problems with the VMware image running very slowly? Even with VMware tools installed? I did a manual install in VMware. Only problem I had was to fix grub, and then it was all good to go. WHat version of VMware are you using? Quote
Xtrato Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Im using VMware workstation 6.5.3. Im gonna trying doing what you did and do a manual install instead of just downloading the pre built image. Quote
hacker07 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Just downloaded it installed it on a laptop! its nice Quote
beakmyn Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Has anyone tried to use unetbootin-windows-377.exe on this to make a bootable flash drive. I have tried 3 times and keep getting a boot error when i try to boot of the usb drive. Worked fine for me. Running on my Inspiron 1318 without a hitch. Everything works, yey! Quote
Charles Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I added it to my multipass without any problems. (used the same config as BT4pre) Quote
555 Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Yeah I would like to kno about getting it to boot from USB drive as well, I have done it with BT3 and used some program on ubuntu to do it I forget what it is called, but the program did not support BT4 to USB. Quote

You can try making a bootable USB with it by using unetbootin. Quote
