Anyone know where to get information on setting up a free (or inexpensive) iDeal account for accepting donations?
Just leave the number of your bank account or email it with the PIC-number, or ENIC-number of the bank (or whatever number it is that enables you to do international transfers...forgot the exact word) No, I am not phishing, every commercial firm and many private persons have their banknumber on, e.g. their letterhead. I for me never understood why anyone should keep that a secret.

My problems:

Solved: I am digging through the LXDE documentation (that is pretty much non-existent!) and got the Gimp exchanged for fotoxx. I still feel very strongly that this should be the default.

I still would like to hear from people that tried to install Evolution or Kdepim in Easy Debian and synced it with Google calendar and Contacts

Hello easy debian users!

I'm currently running easy debian installed from the extras repos, with debian-m5-v2 image.
I saw on qole.org that the debian-m5-v3b.img.ext2.lzma image is available.
How can I use it? Is there a "changelog" for that image?

Do I just donwload the v3 image, and launch the debian image installer, or is there a file to edit before?

I'm sorry if it's a dumb question but this is a long thread and I'm getting lost and again thanks a lot for easy debian it's awesome

yes, that should work if you just place the file in /home/user/MyDocs
or you can do it this way.

changelog has been posted here.

I find that the interface, especially of PCman, is often unreponsive. When I touch buttons or icons, the color changes but nothing happens and the cpu monitor in left upper region shows no increased activity. Is this a known issue?

That unresponsiveness issue is not known to me. When the interface is unresponsive for me, it is because the cpu is working hard.
As for your other questions: I have tried Evolution but it is very difficult to use due to the layout of the app and the low resolution of the N900's screen. I have not used it to synch with anything.

After playing some more with it, I have the impression that giving short, sharp taps work better.

Qole,

Thanks again for a great product. The question I have revolves around installing GCC within the Easy Debian image. It seems the installation fails both via the CLI (apt-get) and via the Synatptic Package Manager.

The error reads:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gcc: Depends: gcc-4.3 (>= 4.3.2-1) but it is not going to be installed.
Recommends: libc6-dev

I tried installing libc6 (whatever that is), but apt-get did not let me install that either.

Any thoughts and/or solutions for this would be much appreciated.

Thank you

The problem is that Easy Debian is a combination of packages from lenny (stable) and squeeze (testing), but squeeze is deactivated by default. You should activate squeeze by uncommenting the corresponding line in /etc/apt/sources.list (in Debian chroot). Then run "apt-get update" before installing gcc. (But don't run "apt-get upgrade" as this would replace all lenny packages by squeeze ones and this could break certain things. Btw, is that still an issue, qole?) After that I'd recommend commenting out the squeeze repository again.
