      Jason:

      A couple of suggestions. At at first glance it looks like a corrupt ISO download. Verify the md5sum for the tar gz ISO. This can be found on the manifest web page for the v1.2.1 release.

      Also how must memory does your PC have?

      Snort just changed there download rules policy. Please see the web site: www.snort.org The pending release of NST 1.2.2 will address an easier means to work with Snort rule sets.

      Jason:

      384 should be enough. Did you do a md5sum on the ISO tar gz to see if your download was correct?

      Sorry , I don't know how to do that.
      I have used WinISO to open the ISO file
      and It looks great.
      Where can I found the step for ISO tar gz ?
      Thank you for your help

      Can you examine the contents of the "nst_utils.tar.bz2" file found in the "utils" directory of the CD?

      It sounds like this file is found to be unreadable or corrupt on your boot matchines.

      On a Linux system you would use something like:

         tar tjf nst_utils.tar.bz2

      The above should report any problems with the file.

      There is probably a Windows utility which allows one to browse these type of archive files as well (winzip? or a gnu port of tar perhaps).

      Paul ,

      Thank you very much for your help.
      I found that nst_utils.tar.bz2 is corrupt on my CD and I burn from ISO again. This time it works.

      Thanks again for your help.
