If this is 0.15 then there are still a heap of issues.

Agreed GeneralAntilles, but surely if you want people to test it, some idea how to load apps into it (which is what I'm after) would help?? I can't do a thing with it at the moment, open pdf's, listen to pods.. nothing that would have me testing the software.. isn't that the intent of releasing it at 0.1x??

You can possibly edit repository to point to http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...le_Ubuntu_9.04 instead.
If something doesn't exist in Hildon Application Manager, it is likely you can grab some things in it's native Ubuntu form (we only show Hildon applications in HAM).
Check out http://packages.ubuntu.com - if you find a package name, you can probably 'sudo apt-get install packagename' in X-Terminal and get the application that way.

I'm in Mer now and having a lot of fun on my N810. If you enjoy the wtf stage, which I do, this is a great time to play with Mer. So far I've just run Midori and Tear and I think I just installed a file manager.
thanks for the dialogue (although I'm not sure how much of it is related to my initial question)...
meizirkki... the version installed is whatever was linked by default from the install page. There is no close button for the dialogues (and that is part of my problem because I can't find a way to close some of them, such as the new repository page).
If this is 0.15 then there are still a heap of issues.
Peter.
