Very interested in this software once the current devastating BIOS destroying bug in Ubuntu 17.10 has been fixed and integrated into the MediCat OS. The bug is so bad that Ubuntu is no longer letting people download their software until it is fixed. And yes, I fix these Lenovo laptops on occasion. Unfortunately the forum will not let me post a link to the issue, so just use Google search.

Hello, can you please keep the old hashes in "hashes.txt" ? I don't want to go around downloading random torrents when I have no way of verifying its integrity. Specifically, the torrent linked on this thread recently is just a single patch behind the current version yet there is no way to verify it. It would help a lot to have old hashes listed. Thanks.

I apologize for that, I can add the old hashes back.

Hashes.txt updated with the old hashes too. Thanks @t2171260

anyone with a good internet mind rehosting the latest medicat on mega.nz for me?
My computer is at home, uploading it to Mega. I just have garbage speeds, so it's taking an entire day to do.

I'm sorry to ask it, but how do I install it with linux ? I've search on the net ("medicat install linux" on google) and found nothing. currenntly, I do : "dd if=medicat.iso of=/dev/sdc" but it didn't boot.

I believe Rufus works just fine in WINE, you might just need to point it to the USB drive manually.

no, nothing to choose from any list. I run "sudo wine rufus-2.18.exe". but I can wait for your answer,
by now, I've used my friends computer but it's a shitty solution

I love Linux, but I wouldn't know what to use as a Rufus equivalent. It has a much slimmer selection of ISO-TO-USB tools. (I'm sort of surprised you don't dual-boot.) I suppose you could always do it from a VirtualBox Windows 7 machine within your Linux OS. It's a bit lengthy, but pre-installed Windows 7 VHDs exist on torrent sites. That should save a bit of time with the setup.
