Noobie here. Unable to install screen rotation on my N800 after having installed it several times successfully in the past (*see below).

Current configuration:
Diablo OS2008 4.2008.23-14
Penguinbait's KDE installed on MMC2
Qole's Easy Debian installed on MMC1

After step 7.d., from here) I consistently receive error messages. Here's the initial error message after entering "apt-get -f install":

~ $ sudo gainroot

-----------------

Does anyone know of an easy solution to this? (I don't have programming skills, or a great deal of computer knowledge, so easy step-by-step solutions work better for me ). I also may not want to try any risky solutions in the next few days, as I'm doing a short informal presentation on the N800 five days from now (Go figure - a noobie doing a presentation )

-----------------


*I've successfully installed this under the following conditions:
- after a fresh flash
-after installing just Qole's Easy Debian on MMC2 (i.e. without KDE)
-after installing just Penguinbait's KDE on MMC2 (i.e. without Debian) (I did have trouble a number of times, though, trying to install the screen rotation first on a fresh flash, and then trying to install the Clone OS to SD after that. Doing the cloning step second, frequently resulted in "corrupt memory card" messages, no matter what memory card I would use. This order (KDE after Rotate) did work eventually, but it almost seemed random. The screen rotation/KDE installation worked every time, though, if I waited to do it after I had KDE on MMC2)
