That is not defined in the image, that is something set up by the Easy Debian package. I'll consider those enhancements when I'm updating the package.

...Also I think it would be nice to have a ~ (tilde) readily available on the keyboard. Maybe using control t or some other substitution.
Could you tell me the equivalent xbindkey mapping.

try 'asciitilde'

If you downloaded the v3c file instead of the v3b file, the installer won't recognize the file. But you don't need to use the installer if you unpacked it yourself. Just start running Easy Debian apps and it should "just work".

I set the passwords to generic things; root is "rootme" and I don't remember what user is.

Second, in /etc/apt/sources.list there is a second lenny repository
Code:
deb http://packages.tspre.org lenny main non-free contrib
I couldn't find out what that contains in addition or at variance with the standard Debian repositories. Is it even active?

That's the old deblet repository, with Maemo device-specific packages for Debian. It is probably not much use these days. I could probably disable it now.

Finally, I forgot to report my timing of "lzma -d" in /home/user/MyDocs/core-dumps:
Code:
real 8m 29.84s 
user 3m 30.39s 
sys 0m 43.44s
(The device had no activity other than skype being on-line.)

My attempts in MyDocs/core-dumps were terrible. It took over an hour to complete!

When do you plan to produce a corrected image (v3d?)?

I'll try to do it this weekend. It shouldn't be too hard to get it done, but finding the time right at the moment will still be tricky.
