Qnx repository problem...

I just got a CD from a magazine containing QNX RTOS yesterday, realized the
problem as soon as i was about to use the package manager, it couldn’t find
any packages from the repository dirs… problem was all files on the CD was
UPPERCASE… and in a subdir… (cd contained the complete dist).

so i copied the qnx dir to the hd, used a program to change all files to
lowercase(including dir’s).

and burned the cd again, and yes, the package dir is now found, but i can
only see a text editor and backdrops… now to my question… shouldn’t
there be more? what could be messed up?

help… please…

regards

QNX RTP… is it… not RTOS…

Found the problem… file names are cropped somehow…

could someone with a QNX RTP cd make a ‘find /fs/cd0 -ls >file’ on their CD
?
i need the filesizes of the files in the repository2 dir…

Hi

I’m attaching a file with the directory listing, good luck… if you create some script that make all the necessary changes, why don’t you upload it somewhere, i know this is a very common problem
that people burn the CD wrong, but everyone seem to be to lazy to acctually fix it, they just burn a new cd =)
Hope you fix the problem
