And I have an NXT at home, will be testing it soon.

You don't need to include it, and the rpm contains the udev/rules file. - I've just packaged nbc / nxc for Fedora, which is almost like C, and is a very nice way to program the robot. It even allows for concurrent programming. - There's an overall push to get more robotics stuff into Fedora, so upstream is keen to help - And I'm happy to help on the NXT / TA patch (as a personal project, not OLPC sponsored). cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
