amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1366] | i'll try again |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1367x5] | If you could burn it, it should have been an ISO. But there should not be an .htm extension |
Did you burn it as an ISO image, not as a data file? | |
You should at least get to the startup menu of the boot loader | |
After that you may have hardware support problems, but there are several options to try in the boot menu | |
If you download the English live CD on Windows, the website says that you should rightclick on it | |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1372] | yes as an iso...if you click the link it brings me to a web page with jibberish on the screen as if its displaying binary data so I saved and changed the name removing the htm. |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1373] | That most probably doesn't yield a proper CD ISO. It says to rightclick |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1374x2] | yes I right clicked and saved file without the htm extension. |
having trouble gettting hte vm version too | |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1376x2] | It's not even refering to an HTML page. I get an .iso.bz2 extension |
What operating system and browser are you using? | |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1378x3] | Syllable-0.6.4-LiveCD-1.1.iso.htm for the lower link |
Syllable-0.6.4-LiveCD-1.1.iso.bz2.htm for the top link | |
xp and ie | |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1381] | James, we've been entertaining the thought of porting to PS3, but it would be a lot of work. Realistically, we can only do it with Syllable Server, our Linux, but that is not complete enough yet to be meaningful on PS3 |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1382] | I tried burning it on another drive and using different software. I'll be right back |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1383x2] | If you download the top link, you should be launched into a BitTorrent client if you have one installed |
Are you sure that's what you get when you rightclick on the link and choose Save or something equivalent? | |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1385x3] | yes |
I tried to boot on another computer but it seems that it is not bootable | |
I'll try torrent | |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1388] | How big is the file that you get? |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1389x3] | the iso was 6.8 megs |
torrent downloaded with the htm extension too | |
removed the .htm and bittorrent seems to be downloading it. | |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1392] | It must be almost 40 MB |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1393x2] | sorry>>>46.8 megs |
how is hte browser on syllable? that wasa always my beef with amiga. | |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1395x6] | That's the one. But it's a .bz2 file, compressed with BZip2 |
You should unpack if first. What extension does it get on your machine? | |
Our browser was always based on the KHTML engine from Konqueror on KDE on Linux | |
Years later, Apple also used it for Safari, and in our latest version, we have also changed to this improved WebKit engine | |
So the browser is unfinished like all of Syllable, but quite modern | |
And it's very fast and memory-friendly | |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1401] | Ok, I renamed it with the bz2 ext and used 7zip to decompress. Buring now. will try again... |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1402x2] | Maybe the bz2 extensions comes through if you don't remove the htm extension, or maybe IE would have unpacked the file for you. IE is weird with that |
But the link to our current main English live CD is a referal, because it was the first on our new storage. The others are less problematic | |
amacleod 13-Dec-2007 [1404x2] | got it to boot but the display frequency wa out of range on one computer and it froze earlier in the sequence on the other |
can't get the vm either??? | |
Kaj 13-Dec-2007 [1406x4] | What happens on downloading the VMware image? |
Did you try the alternative boot options? | |
What video card do you have on the one where the frequency is out of range? | |
Please use the link to the VMware image from the How to Get Syllable page on the site. The link that happens to be on the live CD site seems to be broken | |
Kaj 14-Dec-2007 [1410x3] | I released the second version of Syllable Server today: |
http://osnews.com/story.php/19050/Syllable-Server-0.2-Released | |
We're already getting positive comments on including REBOL :-) | |
Robert 17-Dec-2007 [1413x2] | Kaj, mabe you can help me to get something straight. |
I thought that Syllable uses it's own kernel AlthOS, right? What's the role of Linux (Linux kernel?) than? You mention Linux from time to time but why do you need it? | |
Kaj 17-Dec-2007 [1415] | This year we made a big split. I created a Linux distro based on my build system for Syllable. We call it Syllable Server, and Syllable proper is now called Syllable Desktop |
