it shouldn't be that much to read once you stop looking at the parts for different operating systems and concentrate on whichever one you are using...

I got a problem on the very first step...
when I enter
/etc/network/interfaces
it says permission denied
I have no network running
If it is a file... then where can I locate it in filebox
How can I run this command in x-terminal

(if you are attempting to edit /etc/network/interfaces and it gives you the message "permission denied" then you aren't root!)

First I will enter "root" command in xterm. Then I will simply write command "/etc/network/interfaces", and it gives the following information in xterm;
-sh: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied
Then I will enter "sudo gainroot" command in xterm. Then I will simply write command "/etc/network/interfaces", and it gives the following information in xterm;
/bin/sh: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied
I am quoting the instruction as was written in http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking . Please, tell me where I am making the mistake.
N900 USB network configuration
If you are going to use windows as your host, the configuration needed on your N900 are a little different, so skip directly to the "Starting USB network mode with Windows" Part.
There is a default USB network interface configuration on Nokia N900. In the file /etc/network/interfaces, you should see a section which looks like this:
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.2.15
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.14
It would be a great help for me since to install applications, we need to use the internet on mobile only.
