Peter.
Right, currently the image points at Mer Extras Stable repository, which doesn't have that much stuff in it just yet (we'll start filling in there eventually). What is primarily needed testing is the Mer system itself, not the extras.

You can possibly edit repository to point to http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...le_Ubuntu_9.04 instead.

If something doesn't exist in Hildon Application Manager, it is likely you can grab some things in it's native Ubuntu form (we only show Hildon applications in HAM).

Check out http://packages.ubuntu.com - if you find a package name, you can probably 'sudo apt-get install packagename' in X-Terminal and get the application that way.
