Hi;
I finally have my n810 in hand, using it to post this!

Benson, please move my post if this is breach of protocol. I saw the screenshots thread, and one thing led to anoher...

I'm in desperate need of some "how-tos" - I enjoy RTFMs and dont want to waste everyones time in the forums. If i could just get over an initial hump, I will be fine. I have some experience with SUSE and red hat, but am not linux geek. Confused about:
* su - i've read the posts on becomeroot, but can't get the app to install, and am puzzled as to why su does not work from terminal. Would try via openSSH, but please see next item. Just want to try simple things like ping for now.
* have installed and ran several gui-based apps ok, but others, such as load-applet, install ok but don't come with a readme that explains how to launch them. Tried "find" but having synax probs. No man pages available.

I really love this little gizmo, and have great hopes for it. I installed 2g sd card, and flashed it to the latest version. WiFi works great.

So please let me know if those howtos are out there; Im willing to read and read, just need a push in the right direction.

Thanks,
Steve
