That would have been me ...the off site help...I finally had to resort to skydrive some of my pristine copies of the update wizard and the rx44_2008 diablo bin ...since I believe he was a bit overloaded and was having difficulty getting the necessary files himself....at first I zipped or rar'd them...but then... I had to just put them up raw...since he was having difficulty spelling his own name by then...

...He did have difficulty getting them himself...He did get rather confusing (but truly helpfully intended) info that I'm sure spun him in circles...and for anyone unfamiliar with the device or operating system it would be daunting and confusing I'm sure...As well the predominance for some to believe that they shouldn't have to puzzle through or figure out things and that it should all be done for them...means that they really want an iphone...or an android device..or some other "smart" Hehe device...

Honestly....once you have done a full reinstall...it is pristine....If you start randomly or arbitrarily deleting parts of any operating system without studying the consequences..I don't care if it is an Apple or windows computer...THE SYSTEM WILL SUFFER...and you will be doing a fresh reinstall for sure. SO STOP DELETING STUFF WITHOUT READING WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE FIRST.

AND LASTLY I GAVE YOU A COPY OF THIS

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90250.....

IT HAS EVERY PERTINENT LINK YOU NEED. READ

All this not withstanding...getting upset with a community trying to help and Dissing a perfectly fabulous operating system and device line will not garner more help...To top it off...my feeling is that this help may be falling on deaf ears and it won't be the last time I fear that the forums will be clogged with this behavior from this individual...as well I do have a very hard time believing that anyone in this forum would be rude enough to basically make you "pay" to give it away....5$ for the device and costing 10$ to ship? I believe this is a gross exaggeration and misrepresents information in this forum as well as attempts to call into dispute the good-nature and integrity of another member. I am absolutely and totally with you on this peterleinchen.

O...and just wait a minute.......please refer to post #1

And specifically note this in the paragraph from Buffalo
"Worked for years without a htich." (hitch is the intended word I believe)

So what we have here FOR ALL TO SEE is someone who has owned this FOR YEARS....YEARS!!!!!...AND USED IT CONSISTENTLY AND CONSTANTLY.... AND HAS NEVER! EVER! EVER! EVER! BOTHERED TO LEARN ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE DEVICE OR THE OPERATING SYSTEM HE OWNS....AS A TOPPER HE IS NOW YEARS LATER ....ONCE HE STARTS HAVING PROBLEMS (...personally I think this a true testament to the devices ability to take abuse and neglect for years at a time and still perform) LIKE A RABID DOG ATTACKS THE DEVICE, THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND ANYONE WITHIN REACH INSTEAD PLANTING THE BLAME FIRMLY AND SQUARELY WHERE IT BELONGS....HIS OWN NEGLECT.
PERSONALLY.... THE HELP FOR HIM... FROM ME ON THIS POST IS THE LAST HELP HE'LL EVER RECEIVE.
I'M DONE.
I just noticed this post and figured that this needs to be brought to light...as well ...either having any offending posts and pointless clutter posts in the forum by Buffalo should be removed....excluding if possible... any posts that have been helpful for others....the only person's integrity that should be called into question here is Buffalo's for misleading information (I and many others totally assumed he was fresh and completely a newbie to the device and the operating system) that aside...disparaging others... confusing those who are looking for help...and trash talking the os and device is not helpful... and sucking up help that is obviously not being listened to where there are others who most definitely need the help has resulted in a COLOSSAL waste of time, energy and commitment...A ton of useless multiple posts and rants and abrasive and disparaging posts culminating now in a very upset fellow member ...peterleinchen in case of point...
I would appreciate a moderator (at the least) getting rid of all of Buffalos offending and disparaging posts...aimed at either individuals, the forum, the device or the operating system....shove them in off topic...or rants ....or wherever this behavior should go to die ....or better..... simply flush them.
