That won't do the job. The new script notices that the installed firmware is old, and then skips writing the activation key. It does flash the firmware and OS image though. The laptop appears to never write the key. I've gone back to the stable OS image, which works. I hope that the laptop is not now forever blocked from upgrading to an OS image that cares about activation keys. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
