The md5sum is:

titan temp # md5sum MSLNM.zip
f556484b16f683367c7d1abee155c3e6 MSLNM.zip

Is that correct dos_box?

[Dos_Box]

I have no idea. I didn't put it there or compress it.

[Geoff]

Well it decompresses back to the iso without complaining so I guess so.

[ChrisH]

I get F556484B16F683367C7D1ABEE155C3E6 *MSLNM.zip as well. Thats not to say it works though until I try it.

Virtual PC/VMWare is your friend

[Ric_]

I'm having a look at it in VMWare and I intend to produce a little video of the install when I've sussed out how it actually works!

The install and the instructions aren't exactly the same! For example, you can't boot the MSLNM ISO but the LNM ISO within it is bootable but seems not to contain the files that you need!!!

My bloody Server 2003 disc doesn't currently have SP1 in it either so I need to slipstream that too ffs!!!

[john]

I have set it up at home, your Server 2003 must be SP1 slip streamed (as ric has said) and the same for XP Pro. I have set it up on a PC at home, and made it a new domain and I cannot decide so far if I like it or not. I have not set up any clients with it yet (as my second spare PC is dead atm) but I am keeping an open mind. My instant thoughts with it were more primary school / school without easy access to a technician though with the way the web interface works as its very simple to use, so (without sounding rude) a good IT literate teacher could probably handle the classes, users etc.... But I will keep playing and see how it goes, certainly it is a step in a good direction.
