Hmmm, I would have hoped so as well. (Sorry, I hadn't realized you hadn't resolved the USBnet matter) How about a radically different approach then - if you have a card reader, stick the uSD in it and install a new base system on it (per http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD) and then boot the Freerunner from it. SSH into the SD-booted OS and make your changes. (I think you need to mount the internal flash manually, not sure) ***Hey Openmoko folks - I think the built-in installer should have a file dialog to install ipks we place on SD... j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
