[9fans] 9front ISO image

[V.M.(Mark) Haas]

All -

(This is a 9front question)
I am trying to get the ISO image to start building a 9front machine, and
recently have been unable to get a usable image.
I've tried using (on Centos7) Firefox and wget, and the results returned
won't get through bunzip2. They aren't recognized as bzip2 files.

I have tried earlier instances and other mirrors and get the same results.

Example with wget:
% wget http://9front.org/iso/9front-5048.e16a172bcae6.iso.bz2
% bunzip2 9front-5048.e16a172bcae6.iso.bz2
bunzip2: 9front-5048.e16a172bcae6.iso.bz2 is not a bzip2 file.

Am I missing something simple, or has something changed?

Regards,
-- Mark

Hi,

Looks like the header of the file is a bit broken:

Could you please try to download an older image? I.e.:

http://9front.org/iso/old/9front-4796.018cb441d1b5.iso.bz2.torrent

yes, the file appears to be all zeros until 0x40000. until this is fixed,
use torrent or fetch the file from:

http://r-36.net/9front/9front-5048.e16a172bcae6.iso.bz2
