Hopefully as time goes on (and Kiwix is updated) things will be a little smoother. :) While we’re not aiming for the Linux market yet it’s interesting to see how Kiwix is behaving as a cross-platform launcher.

I tried your linux installer on Kubuntu 8.04 and had a problem with the CD path. A space shows up when the CD is mounted. Using an escape character before the space allows the program initially recognizes the location to the CD. However, it appears that the full path, complete with the escape character before the space, does not get passed on to the rest of the script.Please see the attached output from the CLI for your information. Cheers!

Since we've already had a flood of feedback through the forums and email, we've identified the likely problems and are hard at work shaping the disc up as we speak. Thanks to everybody who took the time to check the ISO and comment on how it worked for you. :) Although it would have been a good idea (especially for the sake of testing), we didn’t release a MD5SUM with the iso.
