I added spz@ because she should know :) Non-developers can get an existing OpenID added to a whitelist, after that they can at least comment (schmonz?). Account creation on a web page is something that spambots can do these days, so we need a human intercept. An incurable itch on all spammers and those that employ them. regards, spz -- s...@serpens.de (S.P.Zeidler)

MTP ain't it. Foldersync for Android also works very well. Can do sync either direction, both scheduled & event based (e.g. new photo appears) and includes a wide range of sync methods, including SFTP (which is what I'm using).

Re: How can one add a comment to a wiki page?
No need to be so bitter! Oh, that wasn't my intention, but I stand by my words. The only way a wiki can be of any use is if spotted errors can be corrected _quickly_. If not, it hasn't any vaule. 1. I saw wrong info in the rpi wiki. 2. I posted in the arm list. 3. No response. 4. I can't comment it. 5. I ask how to do it. 6. No response. I'm absolutely fine with this. But now I don't trust the info in the wiki, that's all. No drama here, really, forget about this thread.

As a NetBSD developer, you automatically have an account. I don't know if it is possible to get an account as a non-developer. I added spz@ because she should know :) -- Benny

Well, I'll just avoid the wiki in the future, this experience has shown me that it is not reliable. As I said in other thread, no documentation is better that wrong documentation.

TPM: best to have it "hidden" or "available"?
In BIOS security settings, TPM on the HP Pavilion laptop I am working on is "hidden." I notice there is a NetBSD tpm driver, so I am wondering if it is safer security wise to have TPM available to the OS, or to leave it hidden. TIA Henry PS If you see this Martin, thank you very much for the instructions on how to upgrade with netbsd-INSTALL.gz. It worked perfectly and smoothly.
