FINALLY... I'm 3Ging! WOW, what a struggle, but I'm here finally! I still don't know how to enter the above line as a start-up application though, hopefully you can explain that one a bit better? Also I need to figure out what needs to be entered so that I don't get the "error: http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY FA21D20DEF2A6AFA". Also, is there any way to get the signal meter to show correct? Right now it shows 100% signal. I'm REALLY grateful for the help you've given me! So the October ver of UNR will make the fireware sticky huh? That will be a nice addition. Now I only have TWO reasons for XP, GPS & to load firmware. I'll be getting a stand alone GPS eventually, so I'll soon be down to 0.0 reasons to boot XP.
