Hi, I've been using maemo.org ever since I got my N900, back at the end of December. It really is a more than useful site - vital in some respects for this phone.

However I have never been so stumped as this - what I'm sure is very simple - Java installation.

I first tried the simple guide on nokian900applications.com but it didn't work. I also found it a little confusing. The same then went when I tried the step by step guide on this thread. It is not just that it isn't working, but I feel more me it is missing out obvious and simple things, probably because I'm not techy enough.

In most ways I am not even at "noob" level, but I have been very used to installing and altering things in x-terminal through guides on this website.

Please could someone maybe do what someone else suggested earlier on this thread and do a video? Or even a s-t-e-p-b-y-s-t-e-p slow and laborious process, even like it's written for a spastic.

I really would so much like to get Java working on this wonderful phone of mine. And no, unlike some people on maemo.org, I do not just use this for a phone and maybe a play on a demo version of Bounce.

Regards, Charles


p.s. This is my first post, not only on this site, but on any forum. Does it possibly show...?


Oh, and please don't just link me to another guide on this site, I have searched and done everything I have seen to try.
