Installation

Hi all,

when using the discription
http://doc.m0n0.ch/quickstartpc/setup-installing.html
and writing the generic-pc-1.3.img to CF card by using

Code:

:~# gunzip -c generic-pc-1.3.img | dd of=/dev/sdb1 bs=16k

I get the error:

Code:

gzip: generic-pc-1.3.img: not in gzip format
0+0 Datensätze ein
0+0 Datensätze aus
0 Bytes ....

 
Did I missunderstand the discription or is the command not correct?  

Hope you can give me some ideas, because I did not find anything about this error.

Best Regards, monohenk

Does the MD5 or SHA256 checksum for the image file match those available from the download page? Perhaps the image is corrupted. If so, try another mirror for the file.

Thanks fredg,

yes the  image was corrupted. I still dont know how it realy happened, because I used the same mirrow now.
But now it works, its booting from cf and I can go on...

Thanks for the simple but helpfull tip.
