I'm totally new to the 770 and have no experience of Linux. Please can someone tell me how to install a PIM app for the 770? I've seen a couple and I've tried to install them but they just wont work. Is there some sort of idiot's guide to doing this - I've already installed a couple of games but keep getting errors when I install the PIMs.

Many thanks
Ravi

What are the error messages you're getting?

II downloaded the gpe calendar app and asked the application manager to open it and it came
up with an error saying that something was missing.
i suspect that i need to install something else but i don't know what to do.

First of all, have you updated the tablet to the 2006 OS? If not, you really should. That adds a proper package manager, among other things, which will simplify your life a lot.

Once you run the 2006 OS, you just add the software repository address in the Application Manager. For the GPE calendar etc, the info is:

Repository: http://downloads.kernelconcepts.de/maemo2
Distribution: mistral
Component: free

Then, when you select to install, say, the calendar, the application manager will figure out the dependencies and install the required extra sub-packages. There are quite a few when you get the GPE apps.

Yes this is theory but in fact the link does not work and return some packet error for each apps.

So the following package link does not work:
Repository: http://downloads.kernelconcepts.de/maemo2
Distribution: mistral
Component: free

Awesome!
That's so cool.Thank you very much!

I suspect a problem on the structure of the link for the packaging.

i do not know about this structure. If someone can help ?

I tried Dates and it works.( simple bt working).
