But ofcourse if the unstable 2008.9 is more stable than om2008.8, I would love to 2008.9. So therefor some questions about the usability: - Can you connect to wifi, then disconnect, go into suspend, go out of suspend and reconnect? - Can you go into suspend, go out of suspend and connect the usb and ping to it? - Does it take also 10 sec before you here the ring of someone calling Suspend is still broken afaik. Yes, it still takes some time for the display and ring to actually initiate. If you use opkg update/upgrade, these issues are likely to be fixed in the future and you can report when they are. Otherwise you will be asking this quetion every update, as I would be if I didn't put faith in the developers and test their software so I can report success or failure. The more you use what is being developed, the more you will submit information releveant to fixing the problems, rather than asking if they are still there. And it's not simply a matter of picking the working distribution, they all seem to have a similar set of core problems, except for maybe debian, of which I'm yet to play with. So unless people take the leap of faith, these things will only take longer to fix.

Re: Cpoying image to internal flash
I partitioned the SD card with 2G vfat for p1 and the rest as ext2 as p2 (8G card) Then copy the files you want accessible from (in my case) 2007.2 into the first partition. The uboot will start from the SD image fine from the uboot menu (picks up the uImage.bin file and seems to not care there are other files/dirs present), while booted into 2007.2 its on /mnt/card, and /media/mmcblk0p1 as is usual, with the second partition on /media/mmcblk0p2 BillK On Mon, 2008-09-01 at 07:42 +0200, Marco Trevisan (Treviño) wrote: William Kenworthy wrote: I am trying out 2008.9 and am impressed that its almost usable.

I thought this had been answered ... Everyone's milage varies but my answers would be: Yes, Sort of. Lots. But more importantly, it's a lot better than anything else released by openmoko. I'd suggest tracking the bug reports as the _answers_ to at least the last question will always be fluid and due to change with any new update. If you have specific facilities you need to utilise, I'd suggest asking about those facilities rather than 'what doesn't work'. I doubt you will ever get a comprehensive answer.
