During my contortions I did try this step several times (ok, 3 or 4 times at least, maybe not _several_). No luck. I'll give it one more good hour long no-power soak later tonight just for grins because it certainly can't make anything worse at this point. > b) If that doesn't fix it, email me when you get your developer key > and I'll work with you on IRC to see if we can learn more about the > failure details.

The web page tells me I should get my key tomorrow, so I will try to find you after that. > > > Mitch Bradley > > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
