0.4beta iso image is available

We've got a 0.4 beta iso out on some of the ftp servers (ibiblio, but not sourceforge). If you try it out, please post any problems/results here. Thanks!
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distrib … .4beta.iso

I figure this is worth mentioning, as Gentoo has become so popular--with Arch, upgrading, even from the 0.3 with gcc 2.95 (or whatever) to gcc 3.x is painless. The developers have done a fantastic job on this.
(In Gentoo it's not at all painless--most folks gave up and did a new install--same with FreeBSD, though that's a bit smoother--FreeBSD 5.x is using gcc 3.x).
So yes, though I was one of the ones posting about using the new ISO, that was mainly to keep my own Arch Linux page up to date--with pacman -Syu, as has been said, your system gets updated quite smoothly to the most current release and packages.

How do you install Windows 7 on Macbook Air with a Windows 7 ISO image?

Macbook Airs have no optical drives, and I can't buy one. I do, however, have the Windows 7 ISO image. And I also have access to a Windows 7 PC. I found an article on CNET on installing from a Flash Drive, but that requires the CD. I also have a hard drive (120GB) and Flash USB (4GB), if they could help. Please help me as many programs I am familiar with are only windows-based. I am tried using open-source software like Wineskin Winery and WineBottler, but to no avail, I always end up confused with them.Please help me.

Crjohnson, I think you can really help me!
Okay, how do you use Wine? I don't want to install lots of software like MacPorts, just want the minimal software. So there are many things like Wine, WineBottler, and Wineskin Winery. What do I use for what? For example, I want to turn a windows game (Age of Empires 2 for example) into a full Mac App. How would I go about this?
I tried researching but it is so in-depth with terminal commands and all(i dont want to risk ruining my computer)
What is crossover? Is it another wine app?
Oh, and I tried Winery Wineskin...why doesn't it work? It keeps installing random things like Gecko, or Mono, but in the end, it doesn't work. Do I need the windows app's executable, or the window's apps's installation executable??
What are engines, and how many do I need to create? I think the best thing for me is to learn wine, because installing windows with bootcamp isn't worth the effort, I think, with me having only a few apps i need to run.
As for learning mac apps only, well, Windows apps dominate the market with most of applications being made for windows, especially games, with 90% market. So for some apps, there just isn't a mac version available, or if there is, it's costly. (Which you already know I can't buy things)
You probably cannot afford to buy Crossover either. It is designed for user friendliness though, but of course Wine cannot run everything.
Yes you have to learn some things to use Wineskin. Normally on Gecko and Mono prompt, just cancel them. Gecko is needed if you have a program using mshtml (its basically a replacement for Internet Explorer for programs that use parts of it). Mono is a replacement for .NET if your program requires that. You do not want to install them if you don't need them as they will just waste space. You can always refresh the wrapper later on and get the same prompts if you find out you need them later.
You can copy the full installed version of a game inside the Wineskin wrapper and try to set it up that way, but its usually easier to just run the installer and install it inside the wrapper just like you'd install it in Windows.
An Engine is something you download... its basically a specific Wine build made for a Wineskin wrapper.
If you do not want to learn Wineskin enough to get in and port your programs yourself, you can often find other people who have done so (at least with games).
Check out sites like PaulTheTall.com who has tons of Wineskin wrappers already made and ready to go for many games... you just download the wrapper, install the game you want in it using the normal Installer, then its ready to go. Many you'll need to manually update yourself to Wineskin 2.5.8 though since all the older versions broke ok the OS X 10.8.2 and 10.7.5 update, and Paul hasn't gotten to all of them yet since he has hundreds (including AoE 2 i think).
There is also Portingteam.com which has tons of pre-made wrappers for games (Including Cider hacks from official games).
If your talking about non-Game apps though, you can normally find an alternative... many of which are free.

HT4410 How do I download Windows 7 ISO image to my flash drive

I have a new mac mini and want to use it's boot camp assistant to set up windows 7, but I am having trouble finding a way to download the Windows 7 ISO image to a USB flash drive. Where can I buy and download this? With the mini, no optical drive is available and I don't want to buy the box, just download it and get it going.

Installing Redhat Linux VM using multiple ISO images

Hi,
How can I install a Redhat Virtual Machine using multiple ISO images which are in my hard disk in Oracle VM Server.
I did install Windows and Oracle Enterprise Linux successfully from ISO s because they are all single ISO images.
Windows XP ISO is just 1 CD
Windows Server ISO is just 1 DVD
Oracle Enterprise Linux ISO is 1 DVD
Redhat Linux I don't have a ISO dvd. I have 5 cd s of ISO images.
When i start creating a virtual machine with the following command
virt-install hvm name=rhel432bit_vm1 ram=2048 bridge=xenbr0 vif-type=ioellmu file=/OVS/running_pool/rhel432bit_vm1/System.img file-size=10 vnc vnclisten=0.0.0.0 cdrom=/u01/RHEL432BIT/cd1.iso
Virtual machine is getting created succeffuly and started installing the OS. But whenever it requires a 2nd CD it is giving the message
"Please Insert Redhat Enterprise Linux ES disc 2 to continue"
How to overcome this issue.
Regards
Balaji

A couple solutions come to mind:
- try using Oracle VM Manager. It will let you change cd images during an installation
- use Oracle Enterprise Linux, which is available on a dvd
- create a dvd image from your 5 cd iso images
- put the 5 iso images on a network server, and do a network install
- extract the contents of the 5 iso's onto an nfs or http server, and create a pv guest using this server

Bootable ISO images not visible in PCD when doing Migration Task

We are looking to move from CUCM 8.6 to CUCM 10.0 using Prime Collaboration Deployment. We have the full 10.0 media for CUCM and IMP. We created an ISO image of each and uploaded them to the /fresh_install directory on the PCD server. When creating a migration task in PCD, when we get to the point to select an image and click Browse, nothing is there. We also tried downloading the bootable 10.5 media from PUT. After uploading that media, this was visible, but the 10.0 image we made from the original CD was not.
It appears PCD is doing some sort of validation check against the ISO. What can we do to ensure we create a valid image from the Disc so PCD can see it?

Hi, Jack.
I have the same question, could you provide more details? Thanks!
Say, in the log I found this: The given directory was located and searched but no valid options or upgrades were available. Note, the system cannot be downgraded so option and upgrade files for previous releases were ignored.
But this does not clarify the question.

Compress Multiple iso Images

I have a lot of iso images that I want to compress. When imaging a disk, in Toast 10, I have the option to compress it which then gives me a smaller, .dmg file. This is fine with me, however, I do not want to go through each image individually. Is there an application that allows me to select all the images I want to compress and just hit start?
Thanks for the help.

P.S. Please don't post solutions such as "just burn them to DVDs" or "go purchase an external HD" because I have thought about this and decided against it as it is unnecessary if I can simply shrink the size of my data.

A couple solutions come to mind:
- try using Oracle VM Manager. It will let you change cd images during an installation
- use Oracle Enterprise Linux, which is available on a dvd
- create a dvd image from your 5 cd iso images

Please release mac appstore for mac osx 1o.5.8 or provide iso images of latest version of mac os x.thanks

i am tring to download an iso image of latest version but it is not available.The version of osx i am running is not working properly and not installing apps because there is no app store in this version.what i do.i cant buy an latest version because of having no money.reply me.THANKS

No answer because likely nobody can understand what you are asking.
Also, nobody is going to respond to your post within two minutes of posting. I don't think you understand how this support forum works.
Also, Apple isn't here. It's just us users. If you want to talk to Apple, contact them through AppleCare.
Best I can understand is you want to download a 10.5.8 installer.
If that is correct, there isn't one.
If your original install disks are missing or damaged, you can contact Apple and request they send you replacement disks. Again, asking here won't get you anything.
If you want, you can likely upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6) by purchasing the install DVD from the Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

ISO image for Sun Fire v60x diagnostics CD

The only thread I can find on this diagnostic CD is from 2006:
Re: ISO image for Sun Fire v65x diagnostics CD...
The link posted in the forum:
"Sun Fire(tm) V60x, V65x Diagnostic CD 4.0
This distribution offers the Diagnostic CD image (Sun Fire(tm) V60x, V65x Diagnostic CD Release 4.0) supporting Sun Fire V60z and V65z products.
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=441f6709" (The download link on the page does not work).
Does not work due to the shift from Sun to Oracle.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the file? I've been searching for months.
Thank you.
Edited by: user13455836 on Mar 21, 2011 12:46 PM

Hello,
it should be possible to locate these files via the migrated (Sun) System Handbook.
This is a blog entry about the new location of the System Handbook (review the 3rd comment)
http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/goodbye_sunsolve_helloooo_mos
Maybe the user Nik (http://forums.oracle.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=826741) can help to locate the download. He is very active on these forums and an Oracle employee.
I don't have a MOS account, otherwise I would have been able to confirm if this download is still available. I guess due to the fact that Oracle contracts are more "fine grained", it's possible that downloads only for the systems covered by your service contract are visible.

Windows 7 .iso image for bootcamp?

I have a mid-2012 13in macbook pro (non-retina). I need to install Windows 7 Home Premium on my computer using bootcamp. In Apple's "Boot Camp Installation and Setup Guide" it says there is an option to install Windows 7 with a .iso image instead of a dvd. I did this to get Ubuntu as well. But I would like to get the .iso image directly from Microsoft, like the apple guide says to. I don't see it anywhere on microsoft's website. Can anyone help?

an iso image is a carbon copy of an optical install disc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image
you can make any install optical disc into an iso file using tons of tons of free programs available for both windows,osx and linux
https://www.google.dk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF- 8#q=make%20optical%20disc%20into%20iso
an iso you make from an official ms install disc would hold the same data as an iso file make by ms from one of their install disc

Download Solaris 9 ISO image

hi,
Does somebody know where I can download Solaris 9 ISO images?
BR
Marcel

Solaris 9 is no longer available as a free download.
Older releases of Solaris 10 are no longer available as free downloads, either.
If you want it directly from the company, your only recourse is if you happen to have any support contract credentials with Oracle. You could then log a Support Request (S.R.) that asks for the company to send you the software on CD media. They would pull it out from their internal archives and eventually get it to you.
I can think of another alternative, but it's not a free alternative:
You can haunt your favorite online auction web site (for example, eBay) and purchase a full original media kit of CD's and manuals. As I type this, there are a few such kits avaiable at eBay, various Sol9 releases, both for SPARC and for x86.

Editing ISO Images

I was wondering if it was possible to edit an iso image I have. The image mounts in disk mounter and I can see the directories and files, but it is mounted as read only. Is there any way I can write to an iso image?

While I am unfamiliar with and do not use ISO images, I do know some information is
available through a search; of the results, a few examples should be forthcoming; per:
' Mac OS X edit ISO images ' - google results page URL:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=MacOS+X+edit+ISO+image&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&oq=Mac+OS+X+edit+ISOimage&fp=d9ca629f83f82f8a
Appears ISO images are also common with PCs or perhaps Intel-based Macs,
with BootCamp; if related to newer hardware & OS X... This obviously would
exceed an older PPC computer's capacity unless it was running some Windows
emulation software, or related image files. Where did you get this image file?
There is a possible match in the first pages of the search result link, above.
In some case, you can't edit these; according to several items I've read the
process may be conditional depending on the file's purpose & the OS.
What is the ISO image related to? If it was created by a specific
software or OS, then editing these may require suitable tools.
Good luck & happy computing!

Oracle depots in .iso image file format

Hello All,
Just curious to know why Oracle depots are not available in .iso image file format. With the advent CDROM emulators, it is much more easier to deal with .iso file than a .zip or .tgz in many OS platforms.
Regards,
Sushobhan

The answer is as always ease of management compared to demand.
I am guessing you are using Oracle on Windows as I think I would have more problems on a unix server dealing with an ISO file than I would with a tar or gzip file.

[Solved] how do i build my ISO image with archiso?

hi all
i've been following this wiki and it's been going really well (it hasn't gone wrong...). but the wiki page just sort of stops halfway through the configuration bit
a google search brought me to this page which suggests using the "build.sh" script located in my chroot environment's /tmp/releng/ directory.
running this script returns the error "build.sh: line 207: syntax error near unexpected token '('
line 207 of the file reads:
paste -d"\n" <(sed "s|%ARCH%|i686|g" ${script_path}/aitab.${_iso_type}) \
i don't really know much about scripts so i can't see what's wrong
any advice?
sorry if i've missed a wiki or something n00bish like that. also i'm aware that someone who doesn't know what they're doing shouldn't be attempting archiso but i thought it would be a fun learning experience
here's the full build.sh in case it is helpful:

thanks for that, according to this it should be run like
/path/to/build.sh build single netinstall
from inside the chroot
posting this for my own reference and in case it helps others, will mark as solved
thanks again for your help
