The MD5 hash don't match with the file i downloaded from this site today. my hash is MD5: d50c4d3a38a1349111bac5f69b9571f1 linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati-cd.iso while it says CD MD5: 71e5253bc5bda47003c57d71c52db869 linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati-cd.iso My file size is 684 MB (717,387,776 bytes) on win7 32. Who is wrong?

I'm trying the OS now. Is there a way to keep files around after reboot? Every time I restart I lose all the changes I had made.
Yes use the USB version and choose persistence. I just tried out to. I liked it very much and everything worked smoothly in my opinion I'm still convinced that this a very interesting project. The only thing that bothers me is that I couldn’t get my wifi to work at all on my hp compaq6510b when using LinuxCoin. But if I remember correctly I have had this problem with other live distributions as well so LinuxCoin is not to blame.
Anyway. Great work!
What Wifi card ? I'll see if I can patch up Nope I missed AMDOverdrivectl. Over/underclocking can be done using aticonfig ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Enable overclocking .. next lets get the clocks aticonfig --odgc --adapter=your adapter
Set them to what you want. aticonfig --odsc 900,900 --adapter=youradapter
And commit them aticonfig --odcc --adapter=youradapter
And set the fan speed to 70% (a good setting for most 5XXX&6XXX cards) DISPLAY=:0.youradapter aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 70"
Here's a little bash magic to test your card temps. while true; do aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ; aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | tail -n1 | awk '{print "Current temp: " $5}' ; echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=0| grep GPU); echo $(aticonfig --odgc --adapter=1| grep GPU); # Next lines are to check your balance if solo mining # BALANCE=$(bitcoind getbalance) # echo -ne "Bitcoin Balance: ${BALANCE}\r"; sleep 35; clear done
But I will look into adding AMDoverdrivectl. Diablo miner will be added on the next version and I will take a look at hashkill. The MD5 hash don't match with the file i downloaded from this site today. my hash is MD5: d50c4d3a38a1349111bac5f69b9571f1 linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati-cd.iso while it says CD MD5: 71e5253bc5bda47003c57d71c52db869 linuxcoin-v0.1b-ati-cd.iso My file size is 684 MB (717,387,776 bytes) on win7 32. Who is wrong?
The md5sun for the CD version is 28bc5b424e3f33779f67fbe4fe1a9a67 I'll update now. Don't forget the USB version is uploaded now ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Yep very strange ? Even more so that you managed to burn the ISO and use it lol !! Ok let me know how you get on. The persistent space on the USB install is only 512mb. You can add more by following the guide posted on the first post of this thread.

Interesting project, but I found a few problems / irritants with it:
1. It's set for a UK keyboard (I think) and thus doesn't work with a US keyboard properly. 2. It's missing screen. This is absolutely 100% essential for any mining box with multiple cores. 3. SDK 2.4 is about 15 Mh/s slower than 2.1 on a 5870 core at 900 MHz. Should really replace 2.4 with 2.1. 4. Instructions on boot don't make any sense, specifically the line about "tar icd-registration.tgz -C /" What are you trying to do here? I assume you're trying to untar it to the root directory. If that's the case, you forgot the essential command line parameters. It should be "tar xvfz icd-registration.tgz -C /" 5. DHCP is not setup by default on the network connections.
Just my input!

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

if i were british, i'd set up the keyboard that way too... and everybody doesn't use DHCP - it's better to have to look at your own network settings. as for SDK 2.4 vs. 2.1 - 2.4 is becoming required: for the 6xxx AMDs, and for compatibility with OpenCL.so.1. the latest (and potentially greatest) miner (Hashkill) doesn't even support 2.1 at all - and on my 5xxx's it's faster. software moves on, y'know. there's a link to configuring screen resolution. all in all, for a beta-ish release, i find it *quite* good.

Thank you, I was just going to ask about those instructions. Also the keyboard messed with me a little since I do not know how to change it, but with some hunting I found the right keys.
I am getting 141Mhash on my 5770 using poclbm now was 66 as I had it set up so thanks. Pretty awesome!

you want to get AMDOverdriveCtrl. http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdovdrvctrl/i've got a (Sapphire) 5770 that does 173 Mhash/sec with Hashkill, 166 with DiabloMiner. 960GPU, 250Mem, 1.125 overvolt. runs at 67-68C.

Everything taken on board and work on the next version is already in progress. AMD overdrivectl has now been installed. icewm has been dropped for lxde much more configurable ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) and auto dhcp. Language support will not be added but can be got after you have installed Linuxcoin. As a few have pointed out I'm going to stick with SDK 2.4 and fglrx 11.3 to keep it up to date and for compatibility sake. You however are quite welcome to add 2.1 yourself. I'm going to take a bit of time on the next version as I don't want to rush things and get this right ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Here are some screenshots of the new interface ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi51.tinypic.com%2F2yn0x7p.jpg&t=665&c=vn33VYQenw59WQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi52.tinypic.com%2F1zn3fqg.jpg&t=665&c=HslOt6Ph0AGLCg) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi53.tinypic.com%2Frbm69e.jpg&t=665&c=VZr8W6i82XZtXg)

wow!
looks really amazing.
Thanks Jamie ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) lxde looks like a much better option ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) even though its a little more bulky than icewm I think its much more user friendly and configurable. I'm trying the OS now. Is there a way to keep files around after reboot? Every time I restart I lose all the changes I had made.
Yes use the USB version and choose persistence. I must be doing something wrong then. I booted with the persistence option. I then open up xterm, installed vim and created a file. I rebooted with "shutdown -r now", I booted back up with the persistence option but the changes I made were not there. Any tips? It was working my end ? but i did configure this manually to test and then dropped in one of unetbootin's casper-rw's There's a link on the first post of this thread. You could try building your usb stick that way ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Plus you can increase the amount of persistent space. I will take a look at this properly and make sure it works on the next release. Yep, looks very cool indeed.
Does it have VNC support, and if not could you add it?
Yes I could do but this one is simple once loaded I plan to add a package directory to the USB version. Just drop any .deb's you want included on boot and they will be installed. Also synaptic package manager is now included so just load that up and type VNC, click and install. I want to try and keep the extra stuff like VNC down to a minimum due to size restrictions. USB MD5 matches f6ce932c9724546b5d05881b301d329e
I try with my 6870 card & share if i found anything, which helps this project.
Muchas gracias sinor !! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Exactly what I need is for people to test on there hardware and give some feedback. I have a few 5XXX series radeon cards but really could do with peops testing on the newer hardware and give me some numbers. The pretty little extras are easy but I'm working blind on the hardware stuff ATM

Impressive, very impressive. In the last 10 years of my computer experience, the very first Linux distro worked this much fast. Damn small linux & linux mint was impressed me before. But Linuxcoin went a step further & everything is instant. may be due to portable. But, i have a old 9400GT Nvidia & i tried in that machine. A text window opened said, to install AMD APP, copy paste... ctrl + c & ctrl + v , not working, so gone for edit copy, but no option to paste in terminal. Then typed manually & used file manager to find the registration. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) file as mentioned in the text file. tried tar icd-registration.....-C/ | But how to use pipe symbol, i don't know. Pressing the "|" in my keyboard types ~~~~~. Also, since cant able to give ip address, cant able to connect to my Lan. Lack of DHCP & keyboard lang selection, made me to shutdown. You took out many things in system/control panel. But for newbies like me, working in terminal is worst than working in dos. Please add network configuration, keyboard, mouse, display in GUI. I hope thats enough to boot & mine only. Still really impressive Linux distro in the view of an avid windows user of 12 years.
