Hi Paul, Sorry about the subject screw up. That's twice in two days :-(
I know that downgrade is hard. The great thing is that the XO supports that very elegantly right now! I don't want to lose that. It saved me once when I upgraded to joyride image without a developer key (doh!) and was locked out.

(and from what cscott has said to me every time i mutter under my breath about upgrade oddness, i'm under the impression that the "boot to previous version" is really only a failsafe mechanism to keep the box running until your upgrade is successful, and isn't intended as a true "downgrade". correct me if i'm wrong, scott.) paul _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
