?? Sorry not sure what you mean?

Where did you download the file too? - if you downloaded it straight into your MyDocs folder, then thats where the file will be.

Imagine it was a pc.... In windows your my documents nowadays sits under c:\documents and settings\username\documents.... or something like that... similar on your n900, just a set of different folder names

In this case, here

/home/user/MyDocs/filename.deb

alternatively in terminal you can do :

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs/

Press enter, then

Code:

dpkg -i filename.deb

edit it may need the below, not sure

Code:

dpkg -i ./filename.deb

press enter

Once you are in the right folder you can type ls ( 'LS'- in lower case, ls is the same as dir in dos) It will then list all files in that folder.
