Hi Andrew,
Hi list,
had a brief run with 0.2. It did not crash on me, but as I have only on
computer at hand an the moment I could not proceed beyond step 3.
You write that you combined step 3 & 4. I thought you combined two
clicks on 'forward' into one but in step 3 I noticed that you 'replaced'
one click on forward with one on 'connect'.
What is your rational behind this step away from a 'step-by-step'
wizard? Maybe I am a bit quick on this one as I haven't been able to
test the connect option/button...
will try to test the connection with another computer soon.
cheers,
seb
