Dear GVD Developers,
After trying twice to download GVD for Linux from your
http://libre.act-europe.fr/gvd/ <http://libre.act-europe.fr/gvd/> site, I
decided to see if you can correct the problems I encountered.
The first time I attempted to download from my Linux machine using Mozilla
and all went well until I selected the directory where I wished to place the
tar file. The problem is your dialog box code places an extra slash in the
download path and, of course, the download fails. For example, if I select
the directory "/Debugger", it will try Saving To:
"/Debugger//gvd-1.2.5-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tgz".
Since that didn't work, I tried to download from my Windows machine but
there was a problem there with the size of the tar file (over 3 MB). The
SAVE AS dialog box first selects the floppy A: drive (limited to 1.44MB
maximum) and the download also fails. It would be convenient to divide into
two smaller files that fit on floppies.
After all these tries, I finally managed to download to my hard drive but it
was way too much hassle.
Hope you can work it out so the next person has less trouble.
