Windows driver
How do I install the Windows driver for the 0.1 release? I use an XP and a Vista computer, and am using the wonderful OpenInkpot for a new EZ Reader.
I see the linux.inf file, but can't find instructions for installing it. I've never installed a driver manually before, and Windows doesn't know what to do. Thanks. |

I'm not using Windows anymore, but if I'm not mistaken, you should be presented with a "driver install wizard" once you connect the device. If my memory serves me right, you should get the option to select the correct driver for that device at some point, at which point you just point the wizard to the .inf-file.
Maybe it's also possible to install via a right-click option, but I'm not quite sure. |

So far as I know, SSH from Windows is not working. Use a SD card reader to transfer files, or install the OI-on-SD version on top of a standard firmware (which can be used to export the SD card when you are connected to a PC).

In any case, I assume this means there's no way for a normal Windows computer and OI to talk to one another. Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if these things were written in plain English for the non-programmers among us? Or if there was at least a notice telling non-programmers that OI is not for them, at least not yet? |

Actually I had problems connecting with 0.1 version of OI. However with the beta snapshot of OI (0.2) it works without issues. You can than download putty for connecting to OI through SSH. It is simple and easy to use.
