Got my Shift3 today and having a bit of trouble with it. 1) Pictures lie. The USB plug is "backwards" like the others. (Coby) but also centered on the bottom... hardware revision. ;( 2) Came with CD, has "corrupted" single 2MB flash partition, so not a hidden CDROM partition version.

Meaning it can just be sat

BTW, thanks to Jeff and everyone else... this has been a fun project to research. Now happily adding packages to my dockstar.

Hadn't seen a mention of this anywhere... The problem was pretty obvious. Installer script is now broken due to a version change with the source files it needs to fetch. QuoteLogs This filesystem will be automatically checked every 39 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
