Your suggestion which I quoted above is probably enough for experienced debian users. But while I'm quite comfortable with the linux command line, the details of debian are not my strength. My attempts to check into this on the basis of what you wrote have led me down several confusing alleys.

A URL from which do download would be very helpful. I did find my way to a repository with reference to kanjipad in a plain text list of packages, but could not dope out where to find actual armel binaries. I've also found references to sid, but what is it and why is it a "good bet". Is it just a "good bet" or has what you suggest actually been verified to work on the N900?
it worked on my n810, and prior to posting this i just installed and tested it on my n900. works great!

1) download this: http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/pool....0-6_armel.deb
2) in an xterm as root, cd into the dir you downloaded the aforementioned .deb into
3) run the command
Code:
#dpkg -i kanjipad_2.0.0-6_armel.deb
this will install the package. it has no deps, so it should go right in.
4) inside gjiten, open the dropdown menu and select TOOLS->PREFERENCES
5) select the GENERAL button on the lefthand side, then the KANJIPAD tab inside
6) under "path to kanjipad executable:" enter:
Code:
/usr/bin/kanjipad
hit OK
7) enjoy kanjipad!


ill be the one with questions when that meego thing hits -_-;
