I feel terribly ignorant. I don't know how to flash to modfy the 770 kernel. Do I execute it from a Linux PC via SSH or internally using Osso x-term? What directory contains "flasher-2.0" if it is in fact even lodged within a directory? Most everyone in this forum seems so able to perform this simple, basic function, that I can't find any actual step-by-step instructions for doing so. "Help me please...if you can!"

You need linux PC, USB cable and download flasher-2.0 executable.

See maemo wiki http://maemo.org/maemowiki/

There is also title or full text search (textbox in upper right corner) if you cannot find it by browsing. 'flasher' or 'flasher-2.0' looks like good keyword to search.

Thanks -- once again! Your guidance has enabled me to successfully execute "flash" modifications to the kernel, and my comprehension and competence in these matters continues to move forward, albeit still at a seemingly glacial pace.
