Unless DVD is corrupted - it does matter. There may be bugs, that can be fixed.
Here I leave a 1-week link to the DVDâs dump.
You would need to verify the checksum of the DVD directly to detect any meaningful corruption. Otherwise itâs hard to tell if corruption was inherent in the DVD, or if it was caused in copying the DVD to the file you uploaded, or if it was caused while compressing or decompressing, or if it was caused while uploading and downloading to the server or during storage on the server.
@PulkoMandy, do you have an image checksum that can be used to verify the DVD?
The DVD was mastered from the ISO image everyone can download on the website. I donât think the mastering process changes the checksum. I may be able to check tomorrow during FOSDEM.
My theory about this issue may be specific to the machine this time or maybe could be something else.
In any case, I am very grateful with you. I donât want to make a snowball with this topic. As I said, it may be just an isolated case.
At least I installed from the DVD with no problems, and I imagine others did also, so I donât think all the DVDs are bad, anyway.
I never did get to say thanks for the Beta DVD! Before I forget again, thank you to @PulkoMandy for shipping a copy! It arrived safe and sound, and I look forward to doing a YouTube video on installing it soon!
Hello!
Just wondering - are the Beta 1 discs still available?
Yes, I have about 500 of them left. I think post offices are open again here and I should be able to start shipping them again if people still want some.
You should add a little tutorial in how to update to beta2 (included the case)
Are there also going to be Beta 2 discs? If so, Iâd like to order two copies of both releases. And Iâll add a nice donation on top
(If theyâre not out yet, thatâs fine, Iâm patient!)
Thanks!
When I selected this thread out of the new content notifications, it started at the top. Presumably, I never did read it back in the day, so itâs presented as new even though itâs very old.
If you start getting money for DVDs, thatâs probably why. Technically, theyâre asking for a beta1 DVD, but have no use for one. Shouldnât be more than a handful - Iâm curious to know how many.
Maybe ship the Beta 1 together with the Beta 2?
Sounds great.
Beta1 will serve as a collectorâs item. Sort of.
This is kinda why I asked
