Any advice on getting Skype  (audio only) to work on  latest build and OFW of XO 1?  I followed  exact instructions, supposedly successfully, at wiki.laptop.org (see below). Then you'll see results of my command "skype" from home directory.No luck.

Hola!

Yesterday, I used the Yum install of Skype and it gave me 2.1.0.81. That one did not seem to operate properly using my OS 656 XO.

Later I reflashed my XO and used the original 1 version still posted on a Polish website and the voice worked fine! Of course, later in the night it failed to work properly, probably due to Skype servers being overused.
