I'm going to assume that you're a Windows user, and if not, then a Mac user. In brief, unless you know Linux or at least get into the hang of individual things you can learn in these forums, they're stored somewhere you can't get to. If you google this forum for mmc install os (or something like that), you'll find how to install them onto a SD card. But if you don't fiddle a lot, they're stored in the N800's internal flash memory (i.e., not on a card). It turns out, though, that the apps are so efficient in byte-usage that there is plenty of room there unless you go wild.

thanks, but I need specific location, that is which one of these:
From the looks of this I assume /dev, but which one specifically:
And just raw binaries or some compressed/encrypted format?
Code:

Files are scattered all over. The binaries (programs) are usually in /usr/bin and data/resources can usually be found in /usr/share . Of course, that is not a definte list.
Some progs keep config files in home dir.

It would probably help to know that this is following the "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" (here it is on Wikipedia).
It helps when one can easily get a list of installed files via the package manager, but the application manager here does not appear to have a GUI for that...

The directory structure of Linux/other Unix-like systems is very intimidating for the new user, especially if he/she is migrating from Windows. In Windows, almost all programs install their files (all files) in the directory named: `Program Files.’ Such is not the case in Linux. The directory system categorises all installed files. All configuration files are in /etc, all binary files are in /bin or /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin. Here is the entire directory structure along with what they contain...

Picklesworth & YoDude...THANK YOU for taking a reasonable approach to a reasonable question. Thanks for getting it that people ask because they want to learn. What they do with that knowledge is their problem...as I have come to learn on many, MANY occasions...but those screw ups are how I learn more, fixing something that was working perfectly fine, until I 'fixed' it that is... 
Abd for the OP here are the reference manuals I have been using as time permits me to absorb this version of Linux:
http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals
I know the ITOS2008 is a variation of Debian but it's where I thought to begin...or is there a better option for references?
