Thanks ichmoimeyo

Please don't be offended ichmoimeyo, (i'm just being paranoid, I guess) but what are peoples' thoughts regarding security when installing apps as root that are obtained from the ITT forum?

There are no guarantees of open-source applications being malware-free, but it feels safer to download apps via maemo.org or download an already established application that has its own domain.

Perhaps in some cases like this one, the source-code can be made available on the maemo.org website and downloaded and compiled on the device itself?

Am I being too paranoid or does anyone else agree?

Also, if anyone can please advise on how to go about obtaining the source-code for cron and compiling on the device itself that would be much appreciated. I only have windows - can scratchbox be installed on windows (or via Cygwin) ?
