Sep 29 15:21:42 mojo kernel: pid 981 (bash), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) that appears each time i attempt file -> wizard. no biggie, i've created a config manually (file -> new), which seems to work... but am now trying to workaround license issues (i believe the wizard walks you through creating a license file, and creating it manually like i did under 2.0 isn't working as easily as i remembered). so i guess my question is... should i continue trying to get the newer 3.2.1-2242 working, or are there known issues/reasons i should try to track down the older 3.2.1-2237? if the latter, does anyone know of a working distro site for 3.2.1-2237? thanks, -mrh -- From: "Spam Catcher" To: spam-catcher@adept.org Do NOT send email to the address listed above or you will be added to a blacklist!
