Hey All,

I'm absolutely TERRIBLE at asking for technical advice... though a complete newb I'm really determined to get the answer for myself from other people's composite answers on (hopefully) similar issues..

..unless the time it takes REALLY starts to eat up my time to do anything else (such as contribute towards failing my degree for lack of time lol..)

So PLEASE PLEASE DEAR GOD somebody help me quickly PLEASE

HOW in the f&*%ing H$ll do f&*%ing DOWNLOAD apps (.deb files, but if you have time to explain from source, please by all means, too) using my COMPUTER (speed is of the ESSENCE) ie a HUGE BUNCH of apps, as in all the ones i could possibly want to USE or PLAY around with later

and THEN, INSTALL them... by selecting them from my 8GB SDHC card plugged into the n810...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..I BEG you.. in your answer, tell me how to resolve DEPENDENCIES also..


so in summary:

1. How (and WHERE) do i MANUALLY download .debs from repositories using my COMPUTER (i gotta mac but its triple boot so i could use linux /windows)... can i use my browser to find these "hidden" directories in repository.maemo.blahlbahlblah....?

2. How do i resolve dependencies? I can SEE what dependencies i would need by looking with my n810 at the repositories...but if u know of another way great. But most of all how do i SEE them and be able to download them from my COMPUTER?

3. How do i make a "local repository" if thats possible (i dont care either way) OR just how do i INSTALL the APPS and GET the APPLICATION MANAGER to SEE that I HAVE the f&%$ing DEPENDENCIES available...just not by using the INTERNET (which seems frustratingly mandatory..and my hugest complaint about linux)

4. Because i am OBSESSED with downloading a BAZILLION apps, how in the heck do i change the default INSTALL location when APPLICATION MANAGER installs these deb files?

See because i like to f%&k around with linux and the n810 i will need to reflash my n810 a LOT...

for time's sake and not failing my degree, i CANT AFFORD to wait DAYS to re-download and re-install the bazillion apps (and dependencies) that I must (passion/addiction) try and use and play with (and some absolute essentials for my user-space brain also)

so please please please guys... I REALLY need your help on this one..ive searched for probably two weeks on this one determined to figure it out myself but im just not smart enough...

Thank you thank you if you can answer all my questions guys...

If I had any money I'd pay you for this GOLD if you could answer...

ach...maybe one day I can help someone programme... Im GOING to get to the level where I can start writing apps / tweaking apps using python at least, but its going to take me a very very long time... (not a logical genius...creative brain-side advantages only unfortunately)
