I tried to follow the original install instructions for the n810, basically answered YES to all the question got to the part where it asks for the URL of the image and I changed it to the 0.16 release. Downloaded fines extracted fine created root password and it asked me to flash again i said yes then press enter for reboot and the sme thing its seems to load up till about 55%

So I was thinking i was gonna try the flashing instructions... Im on vista so all I should have to do is get a livecd from somewhere and load that up then do the flash commands correct ? In doing that will that completely wipe out maemo to the point a bootloader is not needed?
