Qole,

On my N800 with Diablo, the Debian Image Install proc is failing to download the debian image file, ie., wget. The installer.sh proc sits chewing up 95% cpu time.

I downloaded the debian image file by hand and placed it in /media/mmc2... by doing so, Debian Install completed ok. So there seems to be a problem in installer.sh in fetching the image file from your server.

I am not sure I am happy with LXDE... besides being awfully slow, I keep getting "Application is not responding" dialogs with "Ok / Cancel" options. The previous IceWM seemed more solid.

Launching OpenOffice in this environment took forever... and I couldn't get matchbox-keyboard input t register at all... in contrast, I had no problem inputting chars with XVkbd.

If launched on the Hildon Desktop, the matchbox keyboard appears to work fine with OpenOffice. And while on this, what happened with the option to make OpenOffice run full-screen on the tablet's screen?

I wouldn't have minded if the new distribution included Abiword... yes, a Hildonized Abiword is now available -- but not yet fully robust. So having access to the Debian Abiword could be useful in some instances.

Re Xmodmaps, on my N800 if I have my own Xmodmap for an iGo Stowaway BT Keyboard do I just plug it into ~/.Xmodmap-keymap? Could you please explain how Xmodmaps are processed by your chroot scripts?

Edit: Is 'localepurge" no longer available... doing "apt-get install locale-purge" doesn't find the relevant package.

Edit: uninstalling the easy-chroot-deb package still seems to leave in place the /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs hack.
