this program is great, thanks for porting it for us hawaii, i really hope someone packages a nice gui/desktop shortcut for it.

i found the instructions a bit vague at first when i encountered problems so i did a noob guide, hope it helps someone.

go to the download page linked on hawaii's first post.
save the .deb to MyDocs, don't use app manager to install
open xterm
Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg-i /home/user/MyDocs/fuppes_0.660-1_armel.deb 
apt-get -f install
once its installed close xterm
open xterm again
Code:
/opt/bin/fuppes
once the program starts it will try to detect your ip address, if it says it doesn't make sense you have to input the ip address of your n900 on your home network, probably starting with 192.168.....
if it fails to bind at this point the ip may be wrong, it'll keep exiting and you'll have to edit the .cfg file manually,
however if it does work the program will run in xterm, check the address of the web app that will pop up here, (your ip with a random port) leave xterm running, open microb and copy that address in to get the web interface.
enter the paths of your media folders here, eg. /home/user/MyDocs/Music
go back to xterm and press u to update media.
press a to make the n900 visible.
now you can use your ps3 or whatever to stream your media.
once you're finished press b in xterm to close connections and q to quit fuppes.

once its succesfully installed you only need to run it
Code:
/opt/bin/fuppes
and press a each time.
