Hi guys,
it's a long time, since I thougth buy an N900, i'm triing to use a simple txt file in which I write birthday and annual notes to remind.

In Linux I use a command line called "caledar" that I find very useful for my needings.

Unfortunately that command and other like "cal" aren't in maemo.

I tried to install some pakage like bsdmainutils that contain that commands but I'm not sure doing the right thing. In fact does't work!
I downloaded this file and then typed:
Code:
apt-get install bsdutils_2.13-8_armel.deb
Any suggestions please?


PS
after googling several month I found this interesting command :
Code:
grep "$(date '+%b %d')" dates.txt
Apr 10: Go climbing.
But it could be less powerful.

also:
Code:
clear && cal && printf "%s\n\n" "$(grep -F "$(date '+%b %d')" dates.txt)"
but I guess "cal" missing again....

have you tried:
Code:
dpkg -i bsdutils_2.13-8_armel.deb
apt-get is used for "getting packages from the repositories then installing using dpkg"

Code:
dpkg -i <filename>
installs packages from files..
