flashed the device. Still doesn't play all my media, but at least I could install the extra codecs and Kmplayer. Device seems to work better, and there appears to be more stuff showing up in under applications than before. Flashed straight into the latest 1.2. I had upgraded when it was released soon after buying, but the device seems quicker having flashed it again. Installed debian-chroot & easy-debian again, and it just picked up the earlier installation without me having to anything else.

Mish.
