Oh, do this only on the new n800, and edit /home/user/mac to have the mac of the old one.Edit: and use lower-case for hexadecimal numbers, don't know if it matters but lower-case definitely works.
Absolutely right, thank you for your patience.

"2) edit the Exec= line in the file /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.navicore.services to be Exec=/home/user/navistart"

No problem with editing the file, just a big problem saving it. Pemission denied. I can't see an easy way in emelFM2 to change pemission to 'user'. I have tried to use Xterminal, become root, and then change pemission for the file.

The chown command is long and produces errors so I have cd'd step by step and am stuck at "can't cd to /dbus-1".

This is all quite difficult for me. In the end it might be quicker and easier for me to swap over the screen. I just don't have the Linux skills.

Thank you for your help here, what you have done is very clever and I am sorry to be letting the side down.
