Those .rar files where probably the images for the cd's....
You shouldn't have opened them.
Try redonwloading them *or using the original ones if you still have the un-extracted files* and burning those with Imgburn or Nero.

lmao i couldn't resist trying it out :O
i just wanna see why it's so popular; i couldn't get very far with the install, it barfed - wouldn't install blumming desktop packages so (unimpressed) i gave up for now, now trying arch-linux instead.
i'm on ad_buddies now so you can shame me up anyways :P

Hey guys!!
Well good news it all installed perfectl;y i think. Few problems though. First of all internet doesnt work. My internet is through a wireless usb adapater. (Belkin F5D6050). I need some help installing it onto the linux system!!!
Also one last problem. I shut down the linux and now god knows how i can get back on it. I think by puttting a linux install cd in. it will boot if i then go boot from harddrive. However is there like a key like f something that launches linux??
Cheers for all your help!!

to install the Belkin USB - see this snippet from the Ndiswrapper Wiki here - http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List
Quote:
Card: Belkin F5D6050
* Chipset: Atmel at76c503-rfmd
* pciid: 050d:0050
* Driver: Belkin [34]
* Other: Download the driver. Extract to a new directory using unzip. Extract the CAB files (DATA1.CAB, DATA1.HDR, DATA2.CAB) using "unshield x" . cd Drivers/WINXP . edit bkusb.in_ and uncomment the CopyFile.XP.Sys section. Run ndiswrapper -i bkusb.in_ as root followed by ndiswrapper -m . modprobe ndiswrapper. ifdown wlan0. ifup wlan0 and you are there.
however you need to be able to get Linux working again first :)
glad you mentioned Belkin, must take my last remaining bit of Belkin utter rubbish hardware to the shop tomorrow, awful foul stuff

Hey guys!!
Now im gonna give ubuntu a go. So as we speak im downloading the ISO. In the mean time i found this patch for the internet:
http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
Ive downloaded it, put it on a cd.
Now when i get to linux what do i do?? I read this which confused me can you guys explain its on the website:
To install, cd to /usr/src/linux-2.6.x/ and run:
gzip -cd your_download_path/patch-atmel_reset.gz | patch -p1
what does that mean??

welcome to the wonderful world of 1000's of command line switches :)

- that'll be the actual patching part. The straight-up 'bar' before the word 'patch' is a 'pipe', in Unix/Linux you can pipe commands in and out of each other, in simple or very complex combinations.
p.s. nice one for finding that patch..

i only used Fedora a little when it first came out, and the free equivalent before it was renamed Fedora; installed it a few times, configured it a bit but i found it too 'boring' or 'plain' for my liking.
as to Mandriva-64 , it most certainly is free - http://www.mandriva.com/en/download/free
that patch is simply run from the command line in linux, via the gzip program (gzip can be used to unzip and zip stuff), confusing as there's also separate gunzip, decompress programs also

you don't need to worry about running the patch until you're up and installed...

http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel/atmel_firmware.tar.gz
That is the source just compile it......
*open terminal
*Type su and enter password
*Type tar zxvf atmel_firmware.tar.gz
*cd to that directory
*./configure
*make
*make install
Hopefully the build tools come default(I don't know about Mandriva)
