Re: programmer's calculator

There is also BC which runs in an xterm. To convert bases you would set the input base and the output base, for example:
bc
ibase=8
obase=16

Perhaps you could tell us what the problem is. That is what the error message (if there is one) as to why python2.5-gtk2 and python2.5-hildon are not installing.

Re: N800 PAN workaround installer

Clearly, I was not exploring enough. The BNEP driver is built into the kernel on Diablo.

Re: moving /usr to /dev/mmcblk0p2

I don't think this is a good idea. There are many things in /usr which are needed at start up. And there is a good chance that your SD card won't be mounted when the init.d scripts run.

You should...

Re: Mount mmc2 in ext3 using fstab

Re: Low memory???

You may want to try 'top' in the terminal. It will show you the top cpu 'hogs' and it will show you how much memory they are consuming (under %MEM column).

Re: OS2008: a step back from OS2007

One should not switch to OS2008 just for the purpose of switching. There must be a compelling reason to switch (read: some piece of software which you really need).

Shannon,

It is a little tricky getting the keyboard to "pair" with the N800, but it can be done. I suspect you are pressing the wrong modifier key. On the iGo, you want to hold down the blue...
