Hi,
If Ewen (or anyone else for that matter) is out there, I've been trying
to mount the TABBS Library Archive to take a look at the contents. I'm a
Windows/Linux guy, so .dmg files are not something I'm used to dealing
with. I've used a tool to convert the DMG to an ISO, but this didn't
work as I'm guessing the disk is HFS formatted or some such. I then
tried to mount the DMG directly under Linux, but it too failed to mount
successfully. It had tried to mount it as a HFS image, but no dice.
The error I got from Linux was:
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0"
It's possible that its a bad download, but I'm reluctant to download it
again if I don't have to as it's 500+ MB, so can anyone help me out here?
One thing I did notice is that Ewen's site lists the file as being
581Mb, but my file is 553Mb. Now I know what you're thinking, it must be
a bad download - BUT when I started downloading it again, the download
reported the file size as being exactly the same as what I already have
(553Mb). So I aborted the download.
Anyone shed any light on this? Anyone else taken a look at this file?
