Re: [cobalt-users] BlueLinQ and CobaltOS 6.4

[Dave Braford <braford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the update Bruce.
Hang in there. Let me know if I can help.
I have the partial install you described, BUT do not have the adaptive
firewall. I did have port forwarding installed, but removed it and restarted
the Qube before updating.

This weekend I may try a ground-up rebuild of the Qube, and just restore the
mail portions manually. I'll let you know how it goes, if you like (?)
