#122445 - who is imbecile Xilinx or the "GNU group"? |
On this multi-everything PC I installed about a year ago the Lattice software in, say, 30 seconds and only had to accept a Lattice 'licence'
Yesterday, with the same PC, I had to download and install the XIlinx Webfitter, the download took the normal time for 8Mb, nothing unusual there. Clicking on the .exe, and accepting one Xilinx and two GNU licences, started the installation and TWO HOURS later, when I went home, it said 67% complete. Who is imbecile Xilinx or the "GNU group"? Please help me with the correct name for next trime. Erik |
