Edit: here is the becomeroot deb for those who don't have RD mode enabled:

I tried the repo download thrice (came home late and panting for Canola and what a dissapointment with the Nokia servers mess...

Anyway thans to the alternate site on and this one tgz file.
Followed the exact same steps as detailed as above - and BINGO !

Got Canola downloaded, installed and working in 5 mins flat
(I already had the becomeroot, so...)

Thanks and kudos to you for setting up this alternate site and for the instructions. This is a community.
And shame on Nokia (I wont blame the Canola guys here) for putting up such shitty servers.

Thank You!!! You guys rock!!

I'd hug you if I could

Canola is up & running well. Only problems for me so far is that it won't recognize my pictures or videos. Haven't had a chance to figure out why yet...

Thanks again!

I've got everything else disabled (save for the one I can't touch) and it won't work.
