[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I did receive it, but as we were in the middle of disgorging unity from the
isos and things were in flux I did not reply as at the next build we were
hoping to have a 'clean' build. As always with life, things did not work
out that way. With my Oracle VM falling out big time with the newest 11.10
kernel and causing me problems, I'm not really able to test stuff at the
moment.


Regards,

Phill.
