No worries about thread hijacking. I welcome it - it's lonely being a noob.

I too was puzzled by the multiple files. It *seems* as if the only one needed is the big one - maemo-sdk-0.6.7z.001 . I already deleted the 002 file - it did not seem to contain anything useful.

I used 7zip and it 'sploded into two files, a .vmdk and a .vmx; ~ 7.4 Gig - pretty good compression!

I installed the free VMWare player, and then just clicked on the .vmx - a few seconds later I was up and running. Pretty Cool!

Perhaps later you can help me get the Diablo SDK stuff installed. I'm first going to run through the 'hello world' on the chinook stuff that is pre-installed.
