Rainbow Liberation Instigation
Ok, so far my only option for going online with my Pandora is to get my Vodafone k3765 working.
I've downloaded http://www.sakis3g.org/versions/latest/armv4t/sakis3g.gz
Is this the right version for the Pandora?
The instructions for installing it are:
wget "http://www.sakis3g.org/versions/latest/armv4t/sakis3g.gz"
echo "6c88a9961ba8861f2f668c178c02403f sakis3g.gz" | md5sum -c
gunzip sakis3g.gz
chmod +x sakis3g
./sakis3g --interactive
Huh? Do I type this in the terminal? where do I copy sakis.gz to?
I don't understand all this Linux stuff, but to me those 'instructions' look like they want to download a file - excuse me, but my Pandora can't connect - that's why I'm installing this in the first place! <_<
And gunzip? Last I looked I wasn't able to unzip anything with my Pandora... yet.
I've already unzipped sakis.gz on my laptop and put the file on an SD card.
Am I not supposed to just put the file somewhere and type:
chmod +x sakis3g
./sakis3g --interactive
in the Terminal?
I would greatly appreciate some help with this. If I can't get this working, the next thing I'm going to try is what they suggest here:

I need a Linux mentor! :blink: :unsure:
P.s. I also found this: (but am still confused)

Verifying installation
To both verify integrity of downloaded script and existence of all necessary tools, try invoking it with the status argument:
$ sakis3g status
Sakis3G script attempts to locate required utilities during each start up. Should a dependency be unmet, you will be presented something like this:
$ sakis3g status
Unable to locate dependency "expr". Script will now abort.
$
You then need to search within your distribution's packages to locate the one that provides missing utility.
If output matches the one below:
$ sakis3g status
Not connected.
$
you are then set.
Note: If your modem needs to be mode switched before being usable, depending on your architect, you may need to recompile Sakis3G script.
