I'm trying to become root on my N800 (OS2008) but I'm having issues. I need to execute some shell commands as root to get a bluetooth freedom keyboard to work (following instructions on http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...t=12660&page=3 ). I tried 3 methods:

• Red pill mode which works (at least it didn't cause an error) but I don't get a root prompt.
• I tried installing openssh and it asked me to set a root password but then I couldn't find an openssh program to run. I tried opening an xterm and doing sudo root and entering this password but that didn't work either.
• I tried sudo gainroot but that just caused an error.

I know this has been asked a million times but the hardware changes, the OS changes, what runs in each OS changes. I think I've tried most things and, while I'm not an sys admin, I'm not a beginner with unix but I'm definitely stuck. Help!
