This functionality (red pill mode) was disabled in the latest firmware. You now need to install rootsh (from App manager), then in X Terminal run:
Code:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i filename.deb
You'll need to fill in the appropriate filename and path there (the default path to save downloaded files on the phone is /home/user/MyDocs).

Listen my friend I do everything you wrote and what I saw others had written
And it's not working, I will explain
I download the file to N900 \ Documents
I installed ROOTSH
Then I write on X TERM
What you wrote but it gives me an error no such file to this location
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Show us exactly what you wrote in xterm. It needs to be exactly right, including correct case (mydocs isn't MyDocs for example).

The path for the file is
/home/user/MyDocs/Documents

So either

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.Documents
then

Code:
dpkg -i filename.deb
or

Code:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.Documents/filename.deb
Cheers

Documents is what fthe file manager shows, the actual directory is called .documents I think (do not have an N900 so not sure, might be .Documents, and yes that dot in the beginning is important)

actually, it should be

cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
unix file paths are case sensitive!

hm i never bothered to try, but .Documents indeed works. that's probably due to the VFAT filesystem on MyDocs.

instead of changing directory and confusing the poor guy

sudo gainroot
dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/filename.deb
