  1. 99.84% still and no seeds. It’s got another hour and then I’m going to have to leave it for now.

  2. In related news – Great work Jon and other Ubuntu-EEE people. 8.0.4.1 looks great, and now also suspending the 701 seems to work properly!

  3. Well, there is always tomorrow. Or even the after tomorrow :) You will definitely want to make the switch, that Xandros-thing is hidious.

  4. Ok, something important is in that missing megabyte. LiveCD-usage works fine, but the installer notices the broken files at 35% (or so) and aborts the install.

    Ahwell, I’ll keep playing with it using the livecd until a proper image is online. On 701, even a broken 8.0.4.1 one works better than 8.0.4 :)

  5. Again doing a monolog, but despite being 98.4, it seems to work fine. The image mounted, was burned and does boot 8.0.4.1 just fine. Ubuntu’s own verify says that there are 3 checksum mismatches on the cd, dunno which three files those are, but hopefully the are three man pages.

    Installing it on SSD now.

  6. .. Apart from the fact it it was broken :)

    Come on, last meg, without it beeing broken, plz! :)

  7. There seems to be a problem with the torrest, that’s why people are stranded on 99,8%. I keep getting “[2008-09-04 20:16:27] *** ubuntu-eee-8.04.1.iso: PIECE 187 FAILED HASH CHECK
    [2008-09-04 20:16:27] Banned 84.48.121.79:49382
    ” in utorrent, and I believe that this is Jon, being the only seeder…

  8. There are lot of people, including myself, sat at 99.84% complete. That is less than 1Mib off.

    There is no one showing as seeding at the moment. I am using Deluge, other people are using Transmission, uTorrent, Azureus, ets. So I dont think it matters too much what you are using.

    It all adds to the excitement I guess…

  9. I’ve downloaded 96% of this RC. But my upload could be much higher. I’m using Transmission. Should I use another program?

  10. Ante Vekic:

    My suggestion would be to install this RC2 update. The reason why is simple really. Jon and the community have most likely fixed all previous bugs in the RC1 that have been documented. It’s always a good rule of thumb to stay current and run the latest & greatest.

    Like my father told me at a young age: “Son, never pass up anything FREE… That’s one reason why we all choose Linux in the first place. Correct?

  11. Oh damn.. I installed and tweaked RC1 again just yesterday! ;)

    Would you suggest me to wait for another RC, or to install this one?

  12. Thanks!
    Torrenting right now and will keep this up as long as possible!
    I’m really looking forward to the 2nd RC!

  13. Request to all downloaders: KEEP SEEDING. Or noone will ever get their proverbial hands on this release

  14. manually reinstall. The plan is to have a repository with all the changes when 8.10 is released (this means you can use update manager)
