The magazine is awsome.:-D

I subscribed to the 3 month aniversery subscription especially for the CTC IV but my subscription ends in August and CTC IV comes in September. Too bad.:-( I will have to buy the magazine seperately.

Read the fine print. :)
The site you're Pointing to only has the top 314159 articles in its 1gb dump. It isn't a complete offline dump.

The one we have provided is the entire english encyclopedia without images.

Just search for it in google. You will find an official link from Wikipedia's site itself. If I remember correctly, the dump was over 14GB in size, with images.

The freedom issue was good one, especially I like the idea of offline wikipedia. I wasn't having the wikipedia edition. Thanks for the good one. And the idea of portable netbeans was also great!

Installation Solution plz!! Importing is taking just 40 minutes but after that it is showing absurd 1100 hours[approx] time remaining, fetching those pages. In the instruction manual it is told that It would take only 15-60 minute depending on memory availability !!!!
What to do to complete the setup!! even there are "Sql lite lock" error !!

Please read the instructions again. They clearly state, "Depending on your system configuration, this process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or more." so please be patient. It took us 90 minutes to extract at a rate of 3000 pages per minute. I guess you can use that rate as a pointer to your actual extraction time. Even we saw 1100hrs on display but it shouldn't take that long unless you have a really old system. :D

Please follow the instructions to the letter, if you are still getting that error send a mail to dvd @ thinkdigit .com with screenshots and we will get back to you with instructions. :)
