Now, a few days later, it won't stay up long enough to... run neotool. From the time I bring up networking, until I click over to another window, it now fails. (I am on Ubuntu, 8.04) Do I need to just get an SD card reader to copy the new image on? - will that help me? (will I need a bigger SD card? :-). I don't suppose the FR will allow me to use the SD from the host without bringing up USB networking? related - I saw a page about buying or building a USB crossover cable, so the FR could be a host. Could I then upgrade from a USB stick? Thanks Seth _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
