Rob1n, I appreciate your help with this matter. but I I wont run the code, as when I tried apt-get install preenv, we were able to download and install the application. Since this was the original aim to root the N900, I feel theres no need to delve deeper into the problem.

Again many thanx to everyone for your help Appreciate it a lot
