I'm having trouble getting a bootable cd from the pre2 image. I've downloaded it 4 times from 2 mirrors and used up all my blanks trying, yet none were recognised as bootable on my test box. My Pre1 disk boots the box just fine. I see the boot sectors looking at the images with isobuster. Is there a problem with the mirrors?
If pre3 is just around the corner, I'll wait.

Check the Bug Tracker.

It's already been announced.

Try this:
http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/SME%20Server%20Rsync
ibiblio is always giving me trouble from eu
and syncing 40MB is better than downloading 400MB

P.S.: I did manage to get a correct & booting 7pre2

The booting problem for the iso's seem to be related to VIA chipsets. I used the workaround that was listed in the bugtracker here (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733) and successfully upgraded to pre2.

Please read the full thread - that was an early guess, which turned out to be wrong.

Hi,
I would love to do rsync, but i never managed to start the download. I must be missing something very basic, sorry.......
Can you tell exactly your commandline to do this please?

Psoren,
Procedure is simply:
- take the old iso as seeding file (copy and rename the seed to smeserver.iso (cp))
- give the rsync command
So here we go (again):
(This is assuming your seeding.iso is a 7pre2)
- ssh into your SME-server
- cd "one of your i-bays"
- cut/paste code below onto the cmdline (seed iso is in that i-bay)
for far east, au:
cp smeserver-7.0pre2.iso smeserver.iso
rsync --stats --partial --progress rsync://rsync.planetmirror.com/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver.iso .
for the us:
cp smeserver-7.0pre2.iso smeserver.iso
rsync -avv --stats --partial --progress rsync://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/iso/smeserver.iso .
What you can expect (from my rsync of today, less than usual):
pre2 to pre3
sent 148485 bytes received 114761432 bytes 34204.47 bytes/sec
total size is 449304576 speedup is 3.91
Regards
Reinhold
P.S.: Note that the rsync command here:
- is on a single line (broken by the forum software but intact if copied)
- does include stats
- will generate partials (in case ibiblio gets offline - again ;-) )

Vielen Dank!! (I guess you are german from your name..)
That worked, i used ibiblio and surfnet before, but couldn't get it to work...
I must have done something stupid.
Even simple thing can sometimes be hard.
Thanks
