I will read those links. Just wanted to say. I decided to install something small that way I would not fill up root and could delete them later.

I install Crawl for 2008. Had to install some libncurse5 also. It installed to /var/games/ . I guess that is on root. Only one file so maby i could just move it... not sure.. I am still just learning linux.

It ran.... once i zoomed the fonts in terminal as small as i could. It keep telling my terminal was to small. Got in to run... but the <Enter> Key types big W instead of being <Enter>.

Was fun seeing it run at least.


The reflashing your device link looks like one I will need sooner or later.

now, drnoksnes is not in any repository anymore, but i downloaded it as a .deb-file.

now when i install it, and sometime later the emulator becomes available through the repositories again, what do i do then?
uninstall the emulator and download it from the repository again? because i guess when a new version is available in a repository, its not going to update my "self-installed" version, right?
and as for the self-installed version: it will not update itself at all, will it?

If this is like regular linux then:

Yes, you are correct it will not update on its own. You will have to do that.

If you want to remove it, then you will have to remove it manually. There's no "uninstall" button.

If it becomes available in the repositories then you can use that version, but you'll still have the manually installed version as well just taking up space.

thanks for the help here:
installed rootsh, and SSH server and have gained root access attempted to install a .deb file and i was told "database area is locked by another proses" (figged this one out you need to close "App. Manager" who would have thought multitasking could be a problem.) now I have the same problem as "ppriyank" if I have a .deb file in "Phone-Name>Documents" what is the path to that folder?
thanks,
Tim

Installing that is pretty useless because it doesn't work on Maemo5.
