Yeah, noobmonkey was right, it loads up in app manager and says that the application package was not found. Irritating.
Is there any other way to install it?

hmmm well that isnt good. How about restoring it to factory settings or something like that. Would that help?

As I say, R&D mode might help, otherwise you'll need to reflash.

How do you run X Terminal? I probably should have said I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the more complex parts of the N900.
Also, how do you reflash it?

You can try clicking on this to install rootsh http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p..._1.5_armel.deb
It should use dpkg not apt-get so it should work.

I think it's under the "More..." menu (but I've rearranged my menus so I can't be sure).And for reflashing, see these instructions

No idea how technical you are, but I'd recommend to download the .deb package that MohammadAG linked to by saving it somewhere on the N900. Then start the X Terminal and take a look at dpkg to install that package manually. The home folder displayed in the N900 File Manager corresponds to /home/user/MyDocs , some subfolders in there are hidden and hence have a dot prefix, e.g. ".documents". See http://wiki.maemo.org/Installing_applications#dpkg .
