It's actually not safer. The argument I've heard from Nokia engineers is that there's a chance that if the power goes out (charger unplugged, power outage, etc), that the flashing could fail, and if it fails while flashing NOLO . . . let's just say it's a good idea to stick to the Nokia-recommended procedure. -- Ryan Abel Maemo Community Council chair _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
