Cat reads the contents of a named file to stdout, and echo prints whatever you specify to stdout. Doing echo may well have worked for you.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00668030556567969064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849709720667465506.post-28088785613568921382011-02-06T21:03:57.803-05:002011-02-06T21:03:57.803-05:00Great fix that has definitely resolved the issue, ...Great fix that has definitely resolved the issue, this is even though the notebook was already running the latest version.

This workaround should not prevent future updates however it may slow down the update process some since the full version of the update will need to be used rather than the delta update.<br /><br /> Worse case scenario, you can always use the USB recovery process to go back to a stock config and then get updated.<br /><br /> Note that Google has already updated the dev-channel release of Chrome with an official fix so if you're on dev-channel, this workaround is obsolete, it's still relevant if you wish to remain on beta channel though.<br /><br />JayJay Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534053872316638799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849709720667465506.post-45708135656821152772011-01-21T14:28:56.079-05:002011-01-21T14:28:56.079-05:00If I perform this update, will my cr-48 continue t...If I perform this update, will my cr-48 continue to update as usual?
