At the risk of getting my head bitten off for asking a totally dumb question, could I ask a totally dumb question?

So, here it goes: how, as a non-technical user, do I implement Host-mode? Or is it not at that stage yet, in which case, is it likely to be made available for non-experts to implement?
Thanks again for all the effort put into this by the various contributors.
to make this work, it needs to install several extras-devel packages, including core phone things like the kernel, and hit the ugly buttons that mohammad has packaged in the ui.
when it doesnt work, there is no cute error message, and no easy error explanation, you need to run several terminal commands to get very technical help that usually means nothing for a non-technical user.
And when you come here asking for help, non-technical users get RTFMs and a lot of insults, for not doing the proper research, and for installing extras-devel packages without knowing what are doing
Thats why it's still in a "beta" stage, even if it's under active development.
and, again, it's still not recomended for non-technical users
and no, it's not a dumb question, it's just that non-technical users dont read warning messages, even this one.
or at least, its my humble advice.

About error messages though, I'm working on them, I'm still new to C++/Qt
@ teamer, you could try, if they use the same drivers as the N900's Broadcom chip it might work, otherwise, you'll need drivers, you could try anyways

Hey great app. I just have a question. Is it possible to use a usb splitter with the hostmode?
It is AC powered so power is not a problem.
If it works, if I add different devices what hostmode speed should I select? i.e. mouse and flash drive

We are not the power kernel maintainers. Please ask questions about camera support in power kernel to the power kernel maintainers. This is about hostmode
@bachagabriel
please read this complete thread it has even pictures about hubs being used with N900 hostmode (if hub == splitter, otherwise please explain what a splitter actually is)
A USB hub does speed rate conversion so best use highest speed to connect to hub

Seems that hen GUI does not detach devices on close. lshal still lists USB devices as present after hostmode is deactivated. Is it possible a sequence like following to be implemented on GUI close
-power off VBUS
-bus is re-enumerated , so devices are removed from hal device list.
.
.
.
-bme started
I know above is naive, but you should get the idea

As a quick step to making life easier when mounting USB filesystems (I hate typing more than necessary on that tiny keyboard), I've build pmount for maemo based on debian version 0.9.20, the latest that will work with debhelper version 5. I had to modify it to remove the 'user' option when mounting as this isn't supported by busybox. What this means is that you can simply type (for example):
to create the mountpoint /media/sda1 (or /media/<label> if you specified <label>) and mount /dev/sda1 on it. And similarly
to unmount and destroy the mount point.
To install (I guess if you don't know how to do this then maybe you shouldn't be trying, but really it is very easy), download the attachment to your N900 then type:
then (possibly) reboot the device to reload the user and group information. There may be a smarter way to do this, but it was easier just to reboot.
pmount sda1 <label>
pumount sda1
To install (I guess if you don't know how to do this then maybe you shouldn't be trying, but really it is very easy), download the attachment to your N900 then type:
sudo dpkg --install pmount_0.9.20-1-0busybox_armel.deb
sudo adduser user plugdev
