I am sorry if I did not follow the whole thread. See ALL the files does NOT require root, does it? Working on the files may require root.

You check the Green H to see hidden directories.

As I said before.. if you install emelfm2 you should be able to see everything... this is no different than android. Except that it's actually possible to launch emelfm2 as root, and thus be able to actually *do* something with your files in this case...

lol, you still had to install something to access root files, correct? How is that different than installing a file manager from the market? Also, rooting the G1 is just as easy as installing sudo. To take full advantage of the n900, it seems as if you have to be very familar with sudo and command lines. Which kinda sucks for us noobs. Android is much more user friendly IMO.
