And the web browser, Midori, has been crashing every time i've tried it. Any ideas what is wrong with my setup?
You can use both app manager and apt-get. Midori probably has a bug. Don't forget that mer is beta.

I know. I just thought the apps were compatible to install from maemo.

Has that work for you. I think my partition screwed up from the installation trials. I can't get my cloned os to boot. I did the item file as you have it here but, no go.

Using device names directly may not always work with Diablo kernel. Device names for card slots can change at boot time. It is better to use ${EXT_CARD}p2

See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2747 for details and feel free to vote for it.

I just realized that the easy Mer install creates the item file with the ${EXT_CARD}px line while the advance install uses the "mmcblkx" line. And the easy item file is the one that works. That need to be change in the advance install for Mer or someone tell how to get the vitual keybord to work in vi to modify it since my N810 HW keyboard does not have those brackets.

Hey thanks. You did not reply to my other question with the clone partition. Did the bootmenu item setup work for you? My cloned partition is still good. I tried it with the old bootmenu and it booted fine but, I can't get it to boot with Mer bootmenu. Now I am having a new problem where I reinstalled Mers' bootmenu and Mer itself with the item files and none of the two starts. My clonesd doesn't boot with the item file and now Mer is telling me I have an incompatible bootmenu and the device reboots.

I am trying not to go the simple setup again and end up having to reformat my sd card.

Where do I get the deb file for the E17 desktop? I can't do apt-get install. I am unable to keep the wireless connection on in Mer.

Yes, you can grab them from http://repositorry.mer.tspre.org/ but there are so many of them, you propably want to reinstall Mer to get working wlan...

That .item file works for me. If you are using ext2 instead of ext3 i am using, you have to change the format in the .item file. Also, i am using the second partition, if you are using something else, you have to change the p2 to whatever you use.

Thanks, I try it. My cloneos is on my internal 2gbsd card, p2. It should be the similar to yours. IDK.

I don't know what is wrong with my wlan in Mer, and I've reinstall three times already with the same effects. It connects once after boot, stays on for about a minute or so and disconnect and never gets a connection again no matter how many times I try to reconnect.
