Yeah, I'll be uploading the beta ISO tonight. And btw I've been promoted from Premium Member to OSx86 Developer. What does that mean?

Simply put... you now have created your own version of OSx86. (I guess)

I don't know exactly since I don't have anything to do with grouping or classifications.


EDIT: Where are you planning to host? green monster or the network? Figured I'd help seed for a while.

Thanks everyone for the interest I'll get to all the beta testers late tomorrow. I'm setting this to upload overnight. Its not going to be a torrent or on newsgroup. I made a highly compressed RAR split into 100MB parts and am uploading it to MEDIAFIRE (no download limits). Don't have the bandwith and time for a torrent especially since I will lose internet over the weekend and won't be on until they reconnect it.

*sigh* I had everything uploaded to sendspace.com and ready and then horror struck. I encountered some problems with my beta ISO. Upon further inspection of the ISO I discovered the most of the packages were missing or corrupted. I've fixed it and now I'm creating a new ISO. I now have 2 options:

1) Rerar and reupload the ISO (may delay beta by 2 days)
2) Make a PPF to patch the original uploaded ISO (will waste bandwith)

I most likely will go with the second option if the PPF is an acceptable size, but if the PPF ends up being more than 400MB or so then I have no choice but to redo it. Like I said at worst it will be delayed by 2 days or so. I sincerely apologize but this is my first attempt with an ISO and sometimes things do go wrong And yes I realize that I've stalled this for some time now :P But I don't drop out on promises and THIS WILL BE REALITY!!!

No big rush rather have a proper release anytime, and thanks for all the work you have done, well appreciated.
