(forwarded, sorry I replied to author not list) Hi,
Is this a request to test on XO1 only? Assuming the instructions are still here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Clean-install_procedure I have some questions inline about the things you are pointing out to test: On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 7:34 AM, Martin Langhoff <[email protected]> wrote: > Note!
