You can actually install the apps from the command-line as well. Just as long as you find the name of the package you want to install, a simple apt-get "packagename" will see you right.

I find that this works a lot better than using the applicationmanager just now. For some reason apt-get seems more fail-resistant and more patient than the GUI-version.

Names of packages can be found in the .install files that you open from maemo etc.

Again thank's for this tips apt-get ran all the night to get pidgin for this morning.
