I had changed winrar to 7-zip simply due to it being a more open tool and overall has better support than winrar in terms of usable archive formats, however I noticed great work went into the tutorial that was winrar specific, I might consider changing that later if there is no problem with that
- I'm not sure what the format is for discussions, but some thoughts:
- Why encourage using 7-zip? Shouldn't most users already have winzip installed? winzip also unzips .bz2 well enough.
- Which image should I be using exactly? After a couple of passes, I'm attracted to the little green box with the os711.img, which seems to be the latest build, but that seems not to be a bootable disk. However, any of the other images provided on the page works. Is there a way we can just link to a page that will constantly provide the latest image, or will this page be constantly edited when new images come out?
- Other than that, I thought the instructions were great, and I especially like the .bat file at the end.
