@Estel You can replenish http://meegoforum.pl/instalacja-easy...mo-5-t559.html and instruct us how to install debian in a wheezy or N900 as it then uninstall?
The file unpacks only the img, what about the?

I'm back from vacation, and I have zillion of TMO threads to read, before getting into loop again, so please, be patient 
I've managed to fix wicd problem - following my idea from here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...postcount=2800
... I've purged everything that had wicd in name. Easiest way to do it that I was able to find is purging wicd *and* (with ED image *not* mounted, to not follow any symlinks to Maemo's folders):
(replace /dev/mmcblk0p3 with your ED partition)
After that, you ma check that no wicd left-overs slipped in, via:
all wicd problems are gone, and LXDe startup time is back to normal (i.e, very fast) - at the end, I have image without both network-manager and wicd (and friends). There is no problem with apt-get, as wicd was purged before, anyway. It just seems, that uninstalling/purging wicd doesn't delete *any* files (bug in upstream wicd removal procedures?), so we fix it via manually deleting any traces of it.
Warning - it's quite radical solution, and no one can guarantee, that it won't break anything in ED image. Personally, I'm using many things in Ed for a week now, without any regressions, but do it on Your risk.
---
Chromium still isn't working, and I have no freakin' idea why it spazms out. I've installed Iceweasel back, and enhanced it with extension, that allow microB-like grab&drag (again, retaining possibility to highlight text). I can't find a way to delete scrollbars *and* reclaim saved space for rendering web page
It isn't very important, as Iceweasel is still unusably slow, as in slow -> slower -> firefox (iceweasel). Sure, Chromium wasn't performance beast, but Iceweasel is hopeless in comparison.
Other than that, everything works great in Wheezy ED
/Estel
// Edit
I'm aware that my "solution" for nuke'ing wicd remnants is lame, and that it could be implemented in some smart one-liner - I was pissed off by WICD, and haven't had time for delicate formatting If some sh guru can improve it, feel free to post better syntax'ed command here.

Which in effect is:
Code:
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/wicd-tray.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
So, I'll download an image tonight and have a fiddle to see if we can come to a better solution than wiping out a load of files.

Also, the whole thing is that even after purge'ing via apt-get, it doesn't delete single file related to wicd, which sounds like obvious bug. wicd is only one package presenting such behavior in ED.

Could you give the name(s) of the extension(s) you installed to enhance Iceweasel, especially to allow the grab & drag behavior?
I've also tried "scrollbars anywhere" - which is exact same add-on as used in Chromium by us - but, firefox version is either crippled or unfinished, and doesn't work properly (not to mention that doesn't offer such configurability as Chromium's counterpart)

Thank you Estel. The add-on might by simply "Grab & Drag". I can't try it right now as I have not my N900 with me and Iceweasel won't launch in Easy Debian Harmattan (SCI image from Rcolistete).

1) Sulu's squeeze upgraded to wheezy :
- "debian-wheezy-upgrade-sulu.img.ext2.lzma" (506MB compressed), ext2 image with 2.0 GB (240MB free);
- with Abiword 2.9.2, Gnumeric 1.10.17, Iceweasel/Firefox 10.0.6 (without Flash / Java plugins), Python 2.7.3;
- Chromium ( 20.0.1132.57) doesn't work (there is a bug);
- Leafpad, Midnight Commander, Xarchiver, Xf (File Explorer, File Packager, Image, View, Writer), Claws Mail, ePDFViewer, gv (GhostView), ImageMagick, Geeqie, Audacity, Brasero, Music Player, VLC media player, etc;
- there is no wallpaper and menu when "clicked" in desktop background;
- it is already "Harmattanized", ready to be used by Easy Debian Harmattan.
2) Estel's squeeze upgraded to wheezy :
- "debian-wheezy-upgrade-estel.img.ext3.lzma" (1002MB compressed), ext3 image with 3.0 GB (708MB free);

- Leafpad, Xarchiver, Putty SSH Client, Evince, gv (GhostView), Aqualung, Brasero, GNOME Alsa Mixer, Music Player, PulseAudio, etc;
- "/.debian/var/run/onfirstchroot-ext.rc" doesn't umount "/home/user/" so "/home/user" is shared with Maemo/MeeGo;
- dpkg and apt-get will show warnings "Errors were encountered while processing: network-manager network-manager-gnome", which can be ignored;
- it is already "Harmattanized", ready to be used by Easy Debian Harmattan.
3) Sulu's wheezy "Sci" modified (from Scientific, with many softwares about programming and science) :
- "debian-wheezy-sulu-Sci.img.ext2.lzma" (757MB compressed), ext2 image with 3.0 GB (486MB free);
- with LibreOffice 3.5.4, Abiword 2.9.2, Gnumeric 1.10.17, Iceweasel/Firefox 10.0.6 (with Flash & Java plugins), Icedove/Thunderbird 10.0.5;

- gcc/g++/gFortran 4.6.3, make, etc;
- Leafpad, Xarchiver, Evince, gv, GIMP, Filezilla, gFTP, SSVNC, gedit, Geany, etc;
- there is no wallpaper and menu when "clicked" in desktop background;
- gedit .desktop is edited so its icon appears in "Programming" desktop menu, and "IPython Notebook" icon is added;
- it is already "Harmattanized", ready to be used by Easy Debian Harmattan, with OpenOffice linked to LibreOffice.
These Debian wheezy images are experimental and not well tested. They are here to be tested and improved by other users.
Here a more detailed list of Debian images, with comments targetting MeeGo Harmattan users.
For MeeGo Harmattan : use Easy Chroot 0.2 onwards, which sets root with correct $PATH to apt-get, etc.
Python, C/C++, Qt and CAS developer. For Maemo/MeeGo/Sailfish :
Integral, Derivative, Limit - calculating mathematical integrals, derivatives and limits. SymPy - Computer Algebra System.
MatPlotLib - 2D & 3D plots in Python. IPython - Python interactive shell.
