Hi all. I fixed the reported bugs and the second release candidate is now available for download. If you already downloaded the first DVD, you can download a binary delta which can be used to patch the old one. You will need xdelta3 for this (on Ubuntu you can just do sudo apt-get install xdelta3 use the following commands first, change to the directory where the .iso is located, then do: wget http://www.fireantproductions.com/delta.bin xdelta3 -d -s pgdvd201004-rc1.iso delta.bin pgdvd042010-rc2.iso rm delta.bin and optionally rm pgdvd201004-rc1.iso If you haven't downloaded the previous version, or if the delta patch doesn't work, you can find the new torrent at http://www.fireantproductions.com/pgdvd042010-rc2.torrent The md5sum for the new ISO is B1EA6C8C15BB2EE84126227017F56310 Thanks.

Project Gutenberg DVD Release Candidate now available for testing
by Aaron Cannon 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi all. Finally, I have a release candidate of the new Gutenberg DVD available for testing. Currently, it is only available via BitTorrent. Please download and test, and let me know if you find any bugs. At this point, I'm not looking for suggestions on which new titles to add, but any other feedback is welcome and appreciated. I would not yet recommend distribution of this DVD image for any purpose other than testing. Please do not seed this torrent after April 30, because by then, we should have an official version available. This image is an .iso for a dvd-9, so you will either need a way to open or mount .iso files, or a dual layer DVD burner. You can download the torrent via the following magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:JB4PMPIXNTYMFCUZABAYYTX56JWQINPI or if your client doesn't speak magnet links, you can download the torrent file from: http://www.fireantproductions.com/pgdvd201004-rc1.torrent Thanks in advance for all the feedback.

There was a problem with the first torrent I uploaded, so if you downloaded it yesterday, you may want to redownload. The magnet link should still work though. Thanks. Aaron
