Re: HELP! - Rookie USB key not in KOP

ok here's an update:

I have the files hosted! I was having a lot of trouble(making the original ISO, then trying to get it onto my server). I was forced to split the ISO into 16MB files( ) in order for the server to let me upload it(it likes to timeout...).

I've tried to make the process fairly easy, but if you have any questions please send me a message or post here.
  1. download this executable
  2. Run it. It will unzip a few files into a directory of your choosing.
  3. Open the folder you chose and run the "RUNME.bat" file. It will handle the downloading of the various parts of the ISO as well as start an application that joins them back together.
  4. When a prompt pops up asking you for file locations(titlebar should read "The File Splitter"), simply click the "OK" button
  5. Your ISO file should now reside in the folder you originally unzipped everything in. It should be called "FRC2011Rookie.iso"
  6. Move the ISO to a location of your choosing and delete the folder and it's remaining contents


If the download freezes, or breaks somehow, most of the way through, don't waste your time rerunning the application as it will re-download everything. There is a file called "files.txt" that contains a list of all the necessary files. Simply download the rest of the files manually and run the "Create_FRC2011Rookie.exe" file to join the parts together.

Please note that there are 206 parts, each being 15.5MB. This means you will be downloading over 3GB, which WILL take a while. Testing on my laptop shows that it took a little over an hour at ~800KB/s
