Another addition, OVI maps; step by step here, and pics for your visual enjoyment,

The red dot at the center is GPS locked, and looked at Left upper corner, internet connection is OFF, i.e., GPS locked without internet connection and tracking for route, more coming up.....on ovi maps review, soon


Edit: with ALL the (B) apps installed as thread #1, rootfs remains a respectable 58 MB (62.2 MB) Free....today

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

xterm
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i AppName #Name of app package, i.e. dpkg -i emelfm2*.deb if this is the only file with this name

Hey bunanson or anyone :)

when i try to install emelfm2 in xterm i get this

dpkg: error processing emelfm2-0.50-rev29.all.deb (--instal
l):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing :
emelfm2-0.50-rev29.all.deb

I have the .deb file on on the n900 i've even tried including the 0.5.0 like how the file actually is named.

Also thought maybe it installed, but tried to open it with:

sudo gainroot
emelfm2

I get
/bin/sh:emelfm2: not found

Also thanks, i'm a newb and i've learned a lot from your posts.

Edit: I can't install any .deb file at all :confused:
