I think what Brett is running into is probably 0.7.2 packages / index being borked in the archives - at least that was the case last week on rms' machine (I still have no yeeloong, but hopefully will have a ETA for a crapload of hardware - 25 yeeloongs, 10 fuloongs - early this week when people at Lemote get back from Spring Festival). 0.7.1 works fine on rms' box; the bugs I've seen against it are people either not fixing the names of their ethernet adapters, or not removing entries for everything but the loopback device in /etc/network/interfaces (its possible this is broken on install and should be fixed in yeeloong-base or something, but it's also trivial to fix manually.) Brett - were you seeing something like this?

The previously mentioned 0.7.1 is up at http://config.fsf.org/packages/dists/gnewsense-metad/network-manager/ - see previous thread for the sources.list entry for that. -- Daniel JB Clark | http://pobox.com/~dclark _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
