Okay, I was drooling through the whole day of work, rushed home and fought to get a download of the update. In an effort to soothe hubby's concerns about corrupted files, etc. I chose to forgo the collection of mirrors and other methods of download to get my software right from maemo.

I had the same problems getting in and staying in that everyone else did. One of the times of re-entering the page where we input the WLAN code, my pc popped up a download window. In that window it showed a now completed form of the bin file and is downloading a php file as I type.

I used the downloaded bin file ot update my system, but it did not work. Now my tablet is stuck on the Nokia screen with the usb symbol in the upper right hand corner.

1. How do I get out of this screen on my tablet?
2. what is the secondary file I am currently downlading?
3. How badly did I mess up my system.

Thank you for helping. I tried searching the forums, but do not really know enough to figure out what I need to find. I am trying to learn what I am doing, but this all pretty new to me.
