I need some help. Jay West has kindly posted the
file
"rt11freewarev2.iso.gz" at:
http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11/freeware-CDS/images/
"rt11freewarev2.iso.gz" is about 171 Mbytes in size. It is my
understanding that
the full size file "rt11freewarev2.iso" is exactly 671,088,640 bytes in
size which
is the CD for the RT11 Freeware CD produced by Tim Shoppa. However,
when
the download of the "rt11freewarev2.iso.gz" file is complete, I end up
with a file
that is 687,282,673 bytes which is different in size and can NOT be
identical to
the full size (and correct - Tim Shoppa used to have the full size image
at his
site and I downloaded it before it was changed to a ".bz2" image) image
of the
actual CD.
An iso file has a certain amount of overhead to it. A 687,282,673 byte
file wouldn't be out of line for a 650M CD.
I'd try burning it to a CDRW and see if it flies before I got very
worried.
