I tried installing bootmenu-installer from my documents folder, but it just says unable to install. I really need it to work because I just recently discovered this n800 which I recently bought used does not have a lock code I can use (11345 doesn't work, I emailed the guy who sold it but his also fails). I have plenty of room on the internal card but the flash is down to like 10 megs free.
Is virtual memory turned on, if so turn it off

Is bootmenu-installer or install-tools installed? If so uninstall them first

How many SD cards are inserted? Only one SD card can be inserted in the 800 when installing or it will fail.

These are the usual gotcha's

you might also try removing some package if you are low on space. 10mb is pretty tight
