This is definitely a fun experience. It's a story with lots of successes, followed by many, many failures. It's a drama that I know will have a happy ending.

Right now, I'm being a bit tested, however. I just spent 30 minutes trying every which way to copy this command into the X terminal, at the $ prompt:
http://outpo.st/rotate/kernel-diablo...onfast_all.deb http://outpo.st/rotate/osso-software...8.43-7_all.deb http://outpo.st/rotate/xserver-xomap...tion_armel.deb

Each time, I get the readout: -sh: wget: not found

I've tried this about a dozen times, ensuring that I'm copying just those characters, but something's amiss. I'm assuming if entering that command correctly, I'd get just the next $ prompt, and then move onto the next (install advanced-backlight).

Any suggestions? I appreciate your help.
