 I'm currently using an unlocked XO running Build 759, Sugar 0.82 and
 Firmware Q2E15. I'm having trouble installing MIT certificates. The last
 time I tried, it hung indefinitely (over half an hour). This time I'm
 documenting the process as I go along in order to give more detail: From
 http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates choose Get MIT CA (Certificate
 Authority). A rainbow-daemon window pops up. I view the certificate (it's
 correct). Note that the graphics of the tabs are overlapping badly, but
 that's something I can live with. I hit the X on the upper right corner to
 close the front window, check all three boxes to trust sites, users and
 developers, then click OK. There's a pause (at 9:31:25). A minute later I
 hit OK again. The OK blinks but nothing else happens. OK, let's try
 hitting enter since the choice is highlighted... nothing at all, not even
 a shift in the text color. Is it possible I managed to get this installed
 previously? We're not in Kansas anymore, and I don't know how to check for
 installed certificates on this incarnation of Firefox. OK, let's proceed
 to the Personal Certificate, assuming that the prerequisite CA is already
 installed. Follow the link, enter appropriate information (Kerberos name,
 password, and MIT ID). Click submit. It goes to the Generate a Private Key
 page. Leave Key Size and Certificate Lifetime at defaults, click on Next.
 It's a few seconds before 9:42. A rainbow-daemon window pops up with the
 standard alert: "Key Generation in progress... This may take a few
 minutes... <blink>Please wait...</blink> And that's as far as it gets.
 9:52 - that's enough hang time, so to speak. Terminating. (I actually did
 a few more non-XO things before terminating, so it hung for about half an
 hour before I quit.)
