I don't think it will be treated any differently than if you edited the original entries, but maybe someone more familiar with Debian installs can confirm.

I have heard, however, that if you install from App Manager 2008, it will whine if you try to upgrade from another repo. In this way, the /etc/hosts workaround is safer, since the repository is still the same.

Can we put this in terms that people like me (Slow) can understand. Youtube seems to be the way to go. Maybe make youtube videos or any type of video walking the people like me through the process of fixing these problems on their device. I know that would be very helpful to someone like me. Thanks

OK here goes...
1. Set up your camera on an angle to the device so you wont get in the way of the shot.
2. Compose the shot in the view finder to frame the tablet and hit record.
3. Now hit the home screen icon for apps on the tablet. (usually third one down on the left.)
4. Scroll to "settings" and hit "application manager".
5. Hit the menu button on the device. (the middle button between the arrow and the home icon buttons)
6. Tap "tools" with your stylus, then "application catalog".
7. On the newly opened screen scroll to "Maemo Extras", once it is highlighted hit edit.
8. On the "Catalog details" page highlight the web address field to start the key board, then backspace over the "i" in "repository" removing the "i" and leaving the just the characters "http://repostory.maemo.org/extras/" in this field.
9. Hit "OK" with your stylus.
10. Hit close on the the Catalog page.
11. Hit "OK" when prompted to refresh your applications.
12. After the refresh you should now be able to install the apps listed.
14. Provide a link to this video in this thread.
15. Enjoy.

I can confirm that deleting the "i" in repository also works with the "Testing Maemo Extras" repository. By doing this I was able to get omweather. Yes!
Please follow these simple posting guidelines.
