I downloaded the os2106full.zip file from two sites and in both cases the file was corrupt. In both cases the page said the file should be 15.3M but the file itself was only 13.2M - I downloaded both in Mozilla and the from the main site with FTP. Same result. The smaller file os2106.zip is fine.

Someone might want to fix this.

Thanks for your report. It got probably corrupted on the master site recently and mirrored from there afterwards. It's fixed on the master now, propagation to mirrors might take some more time. Should you have problems with downloading it from the master site due to the limit on anonymous accesses, and not want to wait for propagation, you can download it from Hobbes as an alternative solution.

Hello,

This afternoon, at about 16h30 CET, the server that hosts www.freepascal.org and cvs.freepascal.org has gone down and won't come back up until about 9h30 CET tomorrow due to maintenance works in the neighbourhood.

I installed the linux rpm packages, including docs and ide. I also added the directory of the linux units in the options/directory menu item. The path to the units is /usr/lib/fpc/1.0.6/units/linux/ but when I try to compile an svgalibtest source the ide can`t find the svgalib unit, whilst it is actually in the dir specified. I looked at the verbose compile output and it seems to want to use the unit source files too, svgalib.pp or svgalib.pas, which I currently donh`t have. This is a bit odd as I do have the compiled units, I wonder why it needs the source.

Regards
