I now have my developer key - thank you very much. But there were hurdles: The procedure describes using 'wget' to fetch the key. Perhaps due to my physical connection setup (wired + proxy), the 'wget' would time out and say "Resolving activation.laptop.org ... failed". [Note: for me, wget on the laptop *does* work when fetching from other olpc servers. And Browse on the laptop *did* fetch (from activation.laptop.org) the "status" page associated with my key.] I ended up using a browser on a regular Linux system to fetch the key. [And I had to __twice__ override the browser, which kept telling me it did not trust the activation.laptop certificate.] Then I had to provide a way to transfer the key from the Linux system to the laptop (to match how the other systems on my local LAN communicate, I installed vsftpd on the laptop). A lot of effort. mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
