cowsay nokia n900

hey guys i installed the debian packages to my phone and its working fine woop woop even got cowsay installed with a screen caption attached just a simple debian tool.

just wondering if anyone else has tried it? and if so does anyone know how to get around the python package problem when installing say kword?

Re: cowsay nokia n900

is /usr/games in your PATH?

if not (assuming that "cowsay" is installed on /usr/games) just do:
$ /usr/games cowsay whatever
