I downloaded the ISO that day and couldn't boot it (x86_64) ... something to do with USB keyboard and mouse. I'll give that a try on my Dell Precision laptop.

Hope someone here can give me an idea how to remove the CD-ROM partition so I can exercise 'patience' in full and get the desired results ... OR is there no hope for this stick? Its my favourite (16GB). Gparted and the Disk Utility (F14) is powerless in this situation. :( -- Oku, Onyeibo http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:twohot ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

You shouldn't have removed the key. Just re-run the tool and really wait until it is complete and everything will be fine. If you want to reset it for another use, run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=10 (where X is the letter corresponding to the stick, you can check with the tool) and you should be able to repartition it (after unplugging and replugging it). -- Frederic Crozat ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Figured that out Just re-run the tool and really wait until it is complete and everything will be fine. Not really. I get two CD-ROM drives instead -- One functional and the other (the first) dysfunctional.

Thanks. I was able to reformat it afterwards. All is fine once more. I'm very grateful.

The live image fired up alright ... nothing new as I have been test-running gnome-shell already built as per http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell#building I didn't find Evolution on there. Sadly, the network manager couldn't recognize my HSDPA wireless dongle. Apparently, some bits of it are yet to be ported. That meant I could not install evolution either. I'll have to explore the jhbuild option for testing Evolution. I'll keep you guys posted.
