N810 won't install with Vista
 

Just got my N810, loving it! But I can't get it to install on Windows Vista, just comes up with device not recognized. Anyone know if there's a driver I need somewhere?

I'm also having a problem installing anything directly onto the N810 using the App manager, things start to install then just end, saying the file is corrupt. Is this because the Maemo servers are taking a pounding with the Canola2 release, or do I have a more serious problem?

Not sure about the vista problem (must resist smart remark), but the download problem is a real pain, my guess is that they have deliberately corrupted the package.gz file so that you can't download, in an attempt to claw some bandwidth back from the OS2008 release downloads.
Therefore all packages will fail to install as it is unable to verify them.
But as there is no response from maemo, we will just have to guess.

I suppose you could download the packages manually and install them using dpkg or whatever that dodgy debian command is ;)

dpkg -i whatever.deb :D

(Insert whatever smart@ss comment you want about Vista here.) ;)

WTF? Really, you believe that? I'm sure glad I don't live the same screwed up conspiracy-filled world that you do!
