kernel for qt extended 4.4

I switched a setting to make the menus do the wheel thing (didn't realize what I was doing when I selected it) and now I cannot select anything. Touchscreen doesn't respond to selection on the wheel. So now I can't get to settings, apps, etc. Guess I'll re-flash. 

While I was able to get to apps I don't recall seeing the webkit browser or a GPS app. Am I missing something? 

I agree, not quite stable yet.

Fix the resolv issue by putting the line "nameserver A.B.C.D" in 
your /etc/resolv.conf (A.B.C.D being the IP of your own nameserver). 
Always needed for usb connections. 
But still ... too many issues found in 2 minutes of testing for this to 
be stable.
