Re: Re: dfu-error -71

[rhn]

Thanks for your answer.
After some additional research (fairly chaotic, it appeared I can't flash anything), I managed to shed some more light on the problem:
 - It cut the download at some 50 MB no matter what image I was using
 - after connecting the cable to another computer (no intermediate cables) it flashed
    o it went faster than ever (maybe because I didn't use root account on that computer before as normal user could run it just fine)
    o it was a stable version of a distro I'm using (the other computer has *some* stability issues)

Regards
rhn
