Yes of course, me too! I was just wondering whether somebody here knew a workaound to swipe the Swype keyboard down.

No, I don't see this problem. To fix it, try as root in MeeGo Terminalt :
# rm -rf ~user/.mozilla/firefox
Problably you've ran Iceweasel once as root.
Thanks, it solved the problem.

I haven't tested it in YouTube, but the Flash is "browser-plugin-gnash" which is really slow.

Look at my analysis of Debian images, cited in 1st post.
In the end, I commented about Flash & Java use in Debian webbrowsers. To use Flash, why not MeeGo FireFox ?
I looked at both your posts on images and about Flash, and they're actually what made me ask the question. I wondered whether you tested the Sulu's upgraded image and observed any progress on Flash videos, just to know if it was indeed the Flash version in your Sci image that caused crashes on Flash videos. Maybe I'll investigate on that someday, but not now, plus I have not enough free space on my N9 to try Sulu's image so I would have to clean the phone a little bit before.

Anyway, to play Flash I use Meego Firefox, and I am eagerly looking for a more useable version of the faster Firefox that has been discussed on TMO recently, but if Flash had been functional on any Debian browser, then this browser may have became a must-have (real desktop user agent, support for extensions, Flash, and so on... In brief: true Desktop experience with a few extensions to make it more finger-friendly). I was just curious, not a big deal there.

Why not try it ? It works as image 1b has LibreOffice linked to OpenOffice, so OpenOffice icons work (they open LibreOffice).
Great news!

Easy Debian for Maemo 4 & 5 has a image installer, but not selector. A image installer for Easy Debian Harmattan is listed in the to-do list of 1st post.

I've cited in 1st post :
'Easy Debian needs a Debian image (ext2 or ext3 type) in "/home/user/MyDocs" and named "debian*.img*".
So, any image named starting with 'debian' and ending with '.img*" will be used by Easy Debian. If you have 2 images, just rename the one to not be used to "ndebian..." (for example). That's all, very simple.
You're right that renaming the images would be simpler than editing the .chroot file to comment/uncomment lines for the images I want to use. But basically this is the same issue: you have to open up an application before, and to do something either in Filebox or in the Terminal. That's quite easy and quick, but it can be a problem if you do it several times a day. That's why I just asked if you were planning to release an image selector (I knew for the future image downloader, but it does not have the same purpose), or some kind of icons associated with scripts to either switch between multiple .chrootX files, or, indeed, rename images to Xdebian[...].img and debian[...].img. The answer is no, that's all I wanted to know.

Thanks again.
