NOTE: It's probably not the best idea to check "Select all repositories" and click "Install Selected." On the list of repositories for OS2008 (aka Chinook), some OS2007 (aka Bora) repositories are included. Repositories aimed at different versions of ITOS/Maemo can (at least) cause conflicting dependencies which make it difficult to install software, or (at worst) let you install an application that puts you into a reboot loop, forcing you to reflash. And anyone can post a repository to that site. As far as I can tell there isn't any quality checking that goes on

To put it another way installing all the repositories on gronmayer is like clicking a button that says "Trust everyone you talk to on the Internet."
