Just a quickie. I checked out some of the links with mirrors to the repositories. Some are do not have the same packages and some failed to update apt-mgr due to chk sum errors in the files.

I know that sudo gainroot does not work unless you install rootsh or put the N900 in development mode. I am some what reluctant to do that considering the threads that I have read. Is there another way of gaining root, maybe boot to single user mode and edit the sudoers file or the gainroot script itself.
