Something appears dramatically wrong. I downloaded it two seperate times to two seperate computers and both of the old iso files are 799mb, but both of the new ones are only 84mb.

I re-formatted a known newish working usb and installed the iso. It installed way too quickly (which is what made me take note of the file size). I then copied th old 2048 persistence fileto the usb. The only option in the boot menu was default. It did not boot and only gave an error message;
"Invalid or corrupt kernel image"

EDIT

Did a Quick format on the usb, re-copied the previous iso and menu is back, boots normally, I did not take the time to copu a live-rw file this time.

EDIT 2

I dl'ed from the link a few posts up. will re-try from front page in a bit when "life" gives me a chance. 8^)

EDIT 3

Something is definitely off. I just tried to download it from the link on the first page and it was only 300mb or so. I just deleted it and am trying again.
