I have encountered these problems with a fresh install of OS2006 on the 770. After enabling red-pill mode (ridiculous procedure) I attempted to install (all listed on the maemo downloads site) : openssh from the .install file. "Package not found" evince: Nothing happens in the Application Manager when the .install file on maemo.org applications is downloaded. The .install link defaults to the n800. So I google for evince and download it from the developer site using the correct install file. It appears to download, and then I am told "Package not found" canola: "Unable to install. Installation file corrupted" Success. Osso-xterm advanced and fbreader install. Mplayer, installs but then Application manager crashes. Python 2.4 runtime: "Download failed" Python 2.5 runtime: "Download failed" and application manager crashes. At this point I am giving up and going to bed. It is really quite frustrating. I have some familiarity with the device, I can only imagine the annoyance of someone who has just bought one. Gavin
