Right now you are trying to install something in Arch linux, which uses a different package menager called pacman.
So, install by
No prob. But the reaction to this would be the answer to your other question:Code:pacman -S ttf-dejavu
Juan placed a link to them, only two pages back. They are tarred and gzipped, so if you don't know how to unpack it, you have two opions:
Unpack them on your regular machine and transfer them to your n900 or read up on tar.gz files with google and unpack them like that.
Now to your answer and the question: There's no problem being a linux newbee. Everyone that knows something has one day lacked the knowledge and in this particular case (of Linux) it's safe to say we all learnt what we know online. By googling, by reading carefully and by asking questions but above all, by showing curiosity and initiative.
Good luck!
btw, i already did what you told me :
But during dejavu installation i got this error
Code:

And they are already in the correct folders when i check them with filebox. so how come i got "No such file or directory"?

deny_winarto,
I donīt know about the post_install error, I did not have that but it sounds like a part of the Arch Build Structure is missing. I ran into that problem, which boils down to having only very limited repositories available over at ArchMobile.
About the other issue, make sure you copy the files from toyr root partition into the partition you are using as chroot. For that you need to chroot into your Arch first and then copy the files and chmod them.

Y'know just like in easy debian where you can open openoffice without going through easy debian first?
I think it's important because ubuntu runs faster than easy debian in my device..

anthonie and those trying to get full keyboard functionality:
You might have better keyboard luck by copying /usr/share/X11/xkb from Maemo to your chroot (<chroot>/usr/share/X11).
This is one of the things that the synchroot script does. Take a look at /sbin/synchroot to see if it has any other tips for you.

@qole : Is there anyway to make a shortcut from ubuntu's openoffice? Just like what you did in easy debian?
Ubuntu's OO runs faster in my device..
I noticed you use "debbie openoffice" on the OO .desktop exec.. can i do the same method for ubuntu?
thanks

@qole,
Thanks, that was the final thing needed for the keyboard.
Current status of Archlinux:
Working fully with hardware keyboard support and all. Illume module is installed by default.
@Deny, I don't have mt card with me at the moment, so I can't check that OS as it installed on SD.
Figured the copying to your chroot in the mean time? Qole answered it as well.

deny_winarto: Just make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon with the command you use to run openoffice in the "EXEC=" line.
