Interesting thing is, Garnet VM runs on my n900 :)

I think the maemo-select-location thing can be fixed by rebuilding the deb without that command in the postinst.

Qole made a dummy "maemo-select-menu-location" that prevents the errors but doesn't actually have the functionality. Installing that package should prevent the errors occuring when installing packages that haven't been ported correctly.

Funny thing is, the package has also been deployed to diablo's extras, where it's never needed, as that functionality exists out of the box :)

Good idea, that shouldn't be too difficult.

Im not sure if palm apps will install correctly though, the ones ive tried say they installed but dont appear in garnet....

Have you tried the 'running from SD' setup? That would bypass the installation part (except for applications needing additional libraries). There's a thread somewhere describing how. Ah yeah, here it is: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=288060&postcount=9
Works fine on the N800, and the zlauncher part isn't mandatory. Just launch e.g. the date application to get into PalmOS, then select the card where you put some .prc files.
