I take it that you didn't have any issues running the first parts sudo apt-get update etc. maybe the site was down when you tried because it downloads the file in my browser

I have no problems updating. just this one step.

useing all equipment including raspbian from the tutorial.
I tried saterday night and Sunday morning.

I so pose the site could have been down for quite a while and will try again after work.

read somewhere a time out setting exists and is defaulted to 900 seconds
but my attempts timeout much quicker than that.



*Update:* problem resolved- I guess their site was down all weekend. worked right away this afternoon.
Now I have an error   input/output  when starting cgminer

perhaps because i don't have the lcd keypad kit connected yet. still waiting for it in mail.

I don't have one of those either - but I do actually have the lcd coming through the post too, but I won't get a chance to solder it up for a few weeks yet.

When you connect the lcd panel I'm not sure but I don't think you would have to change the settings to call up CGminer that I wrote (if you have been following them also). You'd have to follow the PiMiner steps of the Adafruti tutorial though. I think that CGMiner provides an API port on the computer and in some way the PiMiner links up to that port to broadcast information and provide some control. But I think that API runs independantly of any settings that you apply - so hopefully nothing has to be changed.

I am enjoying this work, although I am very ominous about the release of the 400gh chips, apparently there was a 100TH surge on the network yesterday and people thought it might have been KNCminer doing some testing. So the next few months could be bad news for these, I was considering selling them on ebay whilst I still had a chance to mitigate a bit of the losses, but I figured that I wouldn't get that much for the number I have (6) and to have a 'poker in the fire' would be more interesting than not to have. Lets say for example that shipping by all these companies are put back a few months/years as with BFL - here's to hoping anyway!

thanks
