i couldn't even upgrade open office
so i had to install the packages with dpkg one by one
it took for ever
because at some point of upgrading or installing n900 reboots
i tried to overcloak to reduce the running tasks etc...
i realy need the easy debian with it's installable apps (dsniff gerix-ng fasttrack msf3 hamster ettercap etc...)
so is this a common problem ?
do i have to use sdk in virtule machine ?
and is this new image has the upgraded packages from sqeeze repository?
and why not installing it using the old methon i mean is it impotant to install it to a partition?
Thank you
This image has the updated packages from debian squeeze, so some functionality may be unstable.
Also, using a partition for easydebian removes the overhead of two filesystems (the image is a filesystem in its self).

Thanks for the fast reply
so do you think it is possible to prevent the reboots by installing the image into a partition?
or maybe disabling the self-defence (or something like that) with flasher r&d mode ?

I do not recommend disabling any safeguards, as you could get yourself into a lot of trouble.
On a side note, are you using easydebian from a microSD card, or from the internal storage? You may want to try the internal storage if you have been trying a microSD card.

but it didn't work + i did something stupid so i had to reflash my n900
anyway it is not a big deal cause i have backupmenu
the second time i tried to install it
with entering the command
mount /dev/ext2 /mnt/n900sd
i had
mount: mounting /dev/ext2 on /mnt/n900sd failed: No such file or directory
every thing before got working fine but if i continued ignoring this error
when enterin the command
tar cf - . | tar xfp - -C /mnt/n900sd

You should never run commands in the terminal without knowing what they will do.
