thanks very much terencegf. once that's done i'll do a root but what if it asked "are you root?" what do i type. then what do i answer to "password?"

if you can i'd appreciate a line by line enter for installing the python2.5 files.

i'm confused sometimes as to my applications catalog where i have both the maemo extras Diablo and the maemo extras Chinook!? will they cause errors? yes, as i said, i am a absolute beginner...

thanks for being patient.
