In synaptics, would that be cupsys-client?

It should be cups-client, but I think cupsys-client is just a transitional package, which means cupsys-client is just an empty package that installs cups-client.

A housekeeping question. Once I remove an application with Synaptics, such as GIMP, how do I then remove the corresponding menu item. Also, since Debian Image Installer does not do anything now, can it's menu item also be removed?

My intention is to build a little app that synchronizes the Debian and Maemo app menus, but until then, you'll have to manually go to the terminal and type:

Code:

sudo rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/image-install.desktop
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/gimp.desktop

Good news; Midori doesn't crash in this version! But it's pretty slow on GMail... YouTube is fine.

If you were using a previous version (0.6 or older), or you get this error, please do the following:

1. Uninstall all versions of Easy Debian
2. Reboot
3. Install the new version
4. Reboot
5. Try again to start the system
6. Report back; does this work?


Indeed - works - those reboots in the middle solved the problem.

Although I'm bit concerned about n8x0 internal flash speeds.
I'm using large (256MB) swap on mmc1 so I've decided to put easy-debian image on mmc2 (in typical PC based manner).
First feeling is that my previous one (located also on mmc1 - just as swap file) worked bit faster.
I consider starting up OO application like calc.

Anyway - great work Quole! :)

Hi,
After clicking on the green symbol, I only see a textpage concerning the install and the repo.
In AppMan there's no entry for easy-dec-chroot.
What am I doing wrong?

Just save it to a file, then open it in the app mgr.....

Hi, qole! This is really amazing job! Thank you!
But, I have little question: can you make same image, but without OpenOffice, Firefox and Gimp? I think, some users, like me, dont really want this massive applications, but rather just need access to Debain repository.

Re: ANNOUNCE: Easy Debian Turbo-Charged Edition!
 
Hi Newbie question (so apologies in advance)

You say that the installer can be downloaded to any location, I guess that you will still need to install it on the internal memory card? If so am I better off adjusting my setup so that I boot from my external card?


Thanks

Steve
