Wait until our CVS surgery is done. SF is being a bit slow about it.... we'll get it sorted out soon. Keep an eye out for an email from me, I'll let everyone know when they should re-check out the repo. > Also, with "write_config_to_file" et al, what are the advantages / > disadvantages of binary mode? Should a "normal" user be given the option or > should I make up their mind for them? I can't imagine the average user needing it. However, I'm always of the "if it's possible I like to make the option available, even if it's hidden in an 'advanced uber hacker' tab somewhere" but that's just me. Well, on second thought if they needed that, they'd probably be using the CLI and not the GUI. > Finally, I've got the easy, safe stuff going.

For most remotes you can boot into safemode by yanking the battery, holding the off button and putting the battery back in. Hold the off button until it's in safe mode. However, the chances of you bricking it are slim to none if you're simply using the library. However, if you start hacking on the library, well, then you run a bigger risk. I've bricked mine countless times. You can recover from most things by booting into safe mode and updating your firmware and your config and rebooting. Never try to write to the safemode part of the device. :) -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk'; Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it; Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job; Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient; Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
