Re: EMC BDI V 2.11 crash messages

About corrupted downloads. You can use the md5sum program and the
md5sum of the file to see if the file you have is right.

Here's an example of how it works:

md5sum e79b7936f52a166eb32a328c473306d1 bdiemc-2.11-01.img

Most all downloadable files have md5sums associated with them.

Bet you wondered what that odd number was, man md5sum for more
information of course.

I might be new to BDI and CAD-CAM but Linux is another story.
Here's another novel thing you can do with the ISO images prior
to burning them to CDs. You can mount them!
Use this thing called a loopback device like this:

losetup /dev/loop0 /root/bdiemc211-01.img

mkdir /root/binimg

mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 /root/binimg

cd /root/binimg;ls

# there it all is the df command will even show it up as a pseudo
drive

cd ..

umount /dev/loop0

losetup -d /dev/loop0

Anyone that's interested in realtime chat with a number of Linux
experts, including employees of RedHat, connect to this IRC network:

/join #redhat

Or make your own channel. I'd love that. It's a great network.
C U there

I feel the same way about a certian popular commercial operating
system. The more you know about Linux the more you wonder why people
run anything else.
