The .deb files are packages for Debian based linux systems like the Nokia N900. They are compiled for quite some computing architectures, one of them is armel. You will only install packages for the armel architecture on your N900. The application to install .deb packages is called dpkg.
Sometimes the postinstall configuration of a .deb is not possible because of missing dependencies.
Most of the time the more advanced apt-get is able to install the missing packages.
One prerequisite to work with dpkg and apt-get in X-Terminal is a working root login. For this to work you should have rootsh from extras repository installed. Thenwill install all of the .deb packages that are contained in the folder PathToYourPackageFolderHere.Code:sudo gainroot dpkg -i PathToYourPackageFolderHere/*.deb apt-get install -f
Any questions? Feel free to ask here!
