I'll have more time to upgrade this weekend - should I go ahead with the latest tarballs? Or do you think you'll be trying any more changes?

Thanks

I reloaded both old and new last night, and I also can confirm, I can not send email in either version, but I swear it used to work.

I think the tarballs are good (they are available again), I thought I had broken something that apparently never worked, you think with 100's of downloads someone would have mentioned they could not send email. I guess KDE is just so big its hard to test everything.

I will probably try to fix the mail issue, but it wont be for a while. I spent a few hours last night, but I have no clear direction as to the problem


PCQ, how much free space do you have? Are you installed in internal memory or sd card?


If you have enough space, then
I boot to flash, mount my ext2 partition on SD card. cd mount point, mkdir HOLD, mv * HOLD

Now you can untar everything again and test it, if you have any issues, you can just boot to flash and, cd mount point, mkdir TEST, mv * TEST, mv TEST/HOLD/* .

Then you can boot right back where you started from. This also allows you to recover any files you might have forgotton about. Also I make tarballs of flash when I do it the first time, to make it easier in the future.


Well I got to get going, and I may not be out here for a few days, so if I don't respond its not personal. I have about 30 minutes before I start taking the pills and head out to get all four wisdom teeth pulled, something I am truly not looking forward to. Hopefully I wont come back any dumber
