I did this with only my tablet:
4) cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
5) dpkg-deb -x skype_1.7.62.48.5_armel.deb .
6) sudo gainroot
7) cp -f usr/bin/skyhost /usr/bin
8) exit
And to clean up: DO NOT do this as root!!!
9) rm -r usr/ etc/
Notice the absence of slashes before the folders. This removes the extracted contents from the current directery.

Hi there,
I tried the instructions from the first posts but that doesn't work me.
Skype starts but before I get the chance to enter my username and passwd it just shuts down again. I only see the splash screen.
I don't know whats wrong. Are there any log files I can check to find the problem?
Thankx,
Timo

I read these instructions:
I downloaded the OS from here:
OS2007HE - Latest
After that I had a very clean install to start with.
After I installed skype-ui I downloaded the skype-arlm packeg and extracted it to my desktop. I found the skyhost and copied it to /usr/bin and chowned it to user:users. I I must add that I started skyhost as root before. But I deleted the mentioned two files after that so that skype was clean from root again.
Then I excecuted skype from the menue again, but it still crashes while showing the splash screen, after about 18 seconds after clicking the skype button.
Thats it.
Any ideas?
Timo

Just for you
FAQ 770_2007He_step by step skype installation
__________________________
770/4.2007.26-8/2G MMC boot
Credit from Bundyo, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=12740.
1) you should be running 2007He on you 770, the last 2 hacks should be fine.
2) Install Skype-ui, Menu>Tools>App Manager>Browse Installable apps>skype-ui
3) dl skype_1.7.62.48.5_armel.deb to a win PC desktop, http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com.../user/s/skype/
4) Use izarc for extraction skyhost. http://izarc.org/download.html, dl izarc and install, this is for vista, pick your izarc version, or google it.
5) associate .deb with izarc (when install izarc, they ask you for file association), click on file skype_1.7.62.48.5_armel.deb for extraction, upon viewing tree system from izarc, in folder skype_1.7...../usr/bin you will find skyhost, extract into your win desktop.
6) copy skyhost into your mmc card: and now your skyhost is on /media/mmc1
a) take card out from 770 and copy via a cardreader
b) USB cable copy
c) BT
d) setup tightVNC, there is a file transfer option. Setup 770 as X11VNC server, just click the x11VNC after
installation, there is no parameters to set, and you will not see anything after you click, it is 'silently' ON. then on your
win PC, run tightVNC viewer (Google and install, you do need to supply the ip address of your X11VNC, something like
192.168.x.x to connect to your 770, click on the icon with two square, that is the file transfer icon)
7) copy /media/mmc1/skyhost into /usr/bin, you need to be at root then run skyhost (install becomeroot will let you gainroot)
Start Xterm
~ $ sudo gainroot
/home/user # cp /media/mmc1/skyhost /usr/bin
/home/user # /chown user:users /usr/bin/skyhost
8) Menu>Skype, voila, start skyping....
Installed skype-ui 1.7.43.38.2.
enjoy!

I presume therefore that RD mode must be enabled before following these instructions?

nope, thatts not the case. I didn't need to enable the RD mode (I still don't know what that RD mode exactly is) to gain root.
sudo gainroot can be excecuted if you install or modify the gainroot script. google for "how to become root" and you'll find something very soon.

However skype crashes about 5 seconds after the splash screen comes up. Oh well........

The 2 other guys - it would be great if you can provide some log (run skype from the console as user)
Yes, it works with PC client !
