{font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana</style>Hi John,<br><br>Last night, with the help of James Cameron on irc, I managed to update the firmware to q3a18 and the software to build 54. He did a superb job of walking me through the process.<br><br>All seems to be working fine with the expected bugs (no camera yet). Now I just need someone to tell me what I should test. I don't want to just duplicate what has already been done.<br><br>Should I just "play" until something "breaks" or are there specific things that need to be looked at?<br><br>Caryl<br><br><br>> CC: wad@laptop.org; cbigenho@hotmail.com; devel@lists.laptop.org; support-gang@lists.laptop.org<br>> From: wad@laptop.org<br>> Subject: Re: Secure or Unsecure?<br>> Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 18:29:02 -0500<br>> To: cjb@laptop.org<br>> <br>> <br>> Chris,<br>> She probably has a machine with OS31 on it.
