Hello

Im an Debian-sarge user, and just tested this devise (n900).

Say, if I wanto run some Bash-script, how do I do that.
( I find that "less" doesnt exist, "/usr/share/doc" is empty, no "man" or "info" pages, etc..)

And I can only open one virtual terminal.
(if Midnight Commander is active, none)

Found some programs that didnt work ("ejpi" that I can recall for now). But, why they didnt work, remains a mystery as if it was SymbianOs (no output, no log, no document, and no source)?

I tested that "Debian chroot" package, and there was "less" ..? (strange... some virtual engine ontop? things whent slow in there)

When you are new, you read and search and lurk around the forum and use search function, and than you ask questions, m'kay?

Less does exist as an installable program.

Ctrl+shift+x opens a new terminal. Multiple instances of other applications can be launched via terminal.

I installed "less" with "apt-get install less".
