I have serious suggestions. Here is what happened: -bash-3.2# git-clone git://dev.laptop.org/users/mdengler/sugar xo-sugar-2866 -bash: git-clone: command not found git wasn't on the laptop. I was not able to afford a run of yum to install git, due to limits on download data ... $0.15 per megabyte excess. Had I installed git, a clone would have cost me no more than 7Mb for the sugar source. I just did it to check, on dev.laptop.org. But I saw that the directories you wanted to symlink were only small, and a tarball of them was 73612 bytes. A big change in size! The corrected test setup sequence became: wget http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/2866.tar.gz cd /home/olpc tar xfz 2866.tar.gz cd /usr/share/sugar/shell for dir in hardware model view ; do \ mv -v $dir ${dir}.orig ; \ ln -vs /home/olpc/xo-sugar-2866/src/${dir} ; \ done If your changes were provided as an RPM then that may have widened the test field. Then again, the sugar RPM on joyride-2286 is 1485430 bytes, according to rpm -qi. If your changes were provided as above as a tarball, the testers might step over the threshold more willingly. Lastly, your test instructions were not clear. I had to figure out that the screenshot behaviour was new. Next time, say "engage the frame, hover over the symbol, look at the IP address, and the signal strength bar". ;-) Oh, by the way, it worked, well done! (The old behaviour, of showing a disconnect item, and a channel number, for my local wireless network, was gone. I gather that is what you intended.) -- James Cameron mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
