sungrove, I understand this stuff in not very newbie-friendly but is in not in fact that hard. Just couple of clicks and some typing on your N800.

"First - osso xterm and becomeroot means clicking this
http://maemo-hackers.org/osso-xterm.install" Ok got this, just installation of a program.


"selecting open button and confirming installation will give you X terminal and then click this
http://eko.one.pl/maemo/dists/bora/u....1-2_armel.deb
which gives you ability to get root privileges." Well, I clicked this on the Nokia and it downloaded, but I don't know where it went.

"After you have both packages installed, click this
http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/kernel_flasher.tgz
and this
http://intr.overt.org/n800-sdhc-kernel/sdhc-kernel.bin
and download to your N800 as described in already mentioned thread and post here http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...7606#post37606"
I downloaded those files to my Nokia. Worked fine. They went into my mydocument folder. I can find them there.

"To enter those commands open X terminal from Extras menu.
That's all.
"
I then opened x-terminal from the extras folder on the Nokia and tried entering the code you wrote in the post you mention. Problem I now need to solve is that - Do I type all the code you wrote and then press something or do what? The best I could come up with was to press the return key. But nothing happened. Well maybe nothing is supposed to happen. Hmm.. Seems like I'm close. What now? It appears that the idea at this point is to activate the flasher right? And then tell it what to do with the kernel. But I don't get how to use x-term since I've never used it before. I promise I'll look for instructions on that soon. Meanwhile, any thoughts?

Thanks much,
This is very appreciated
