You might need to resynch your Debian system clock to your Maemo clock.

Do this in a maemo terminal:

Now start LXDE. It will take slightly longer, but the clock should be right again.

Follow the image mounting instructions (specifically the code block) in this post instead. They're more detailed, and my advice to use debbie was flawed; you don't want to have all of those bound directories that you would get using debbie...

Worked! Excellent!

*Stupid question alert*

Once installed is the "debian-final.img.ext2" file still required? Can I delete it? or is this where all of the files actually are?

Just wanted to say thank you, I am a real Linux newbie and this has really opened my eyes and expanded the usefulness of the NIT.

back with the pegged CPU and no progress notification in the terminal downloading the debian-final.img.ext2

bzip2 seems to be at work @ 76% Cpu followed by tar

apparently something is happening since I can see the file in file manager growing in size.

sondjata: after downloading, when de-archiving the image file, there is no feedback for approximately 15 minutes. You have to be patient. You can speed things up a bit by putting your CPU into performance mode during the process.

OK. Installed. Slow as hell. Perhaps it's the limited memory. KDE is a whole 2 orders of magnitude faster.

Lots of fun as always, I see.
