Yes, wizard mounter has some dependency issues. It happens with applications, especially new ones. If you've got root access (i.e.- ssh or R&D mode enabled) Then you can do-

# apt-get install wizard-mounter

in xterm.

If you don't know what 'root access' is there's another way-

1. enable red pill mode. Open the application manager. then goto tools->application catalog. In the window that appears, click 'new'. Then in the web address field, remove the http:// and type 'matrix'. Then press 'cancel'. If you do it right, you'll see a 'which pill' dialog. Click 'red'. Now browse for wizard-mounter and click to install. It should succeed.

2. Once you've got wizard-mounter installed, you may need to load the cifs module manually. (This can be problematic without root access. If you run linux, use the flasher to enable R&D mode, otherwise, installing an ssh server/client is recomended. ) Anyway, as root you may need to do-

# insmod /lib/modules/current/cifs.ko

in xterm before the program will work. (If you try to mount and the program crashes, the module is not loaded, try again.)

As for being able to install stuff like this easily, cut Nokia some slack. Accessing protected shares isn't included with the device, nor supported. Most of what we're doing here is like that. But they've created an open platform which we can hack. The functionality you seek is being developed by third parties, not by Nokia.

They've built the OS, we build the apps. Moreover, most of the apps being developed are open source and free.

If you want easy, get an ipod touch. On the bright side, You won't have to hack it. But on the other hand, you won't be able to hack it, should you want to do something interesting.

my advice- Do some research, use ITT and google, play around. It's not as hard as it looks, you'll end up with a really cool gadget, and you may even discover that hacking is FUN!
