I rewrote this guide now when I packed all the necessary files into one zip file and also cleaned up the scripts a little... so here it goes:
The attached zip file contains four files: host.desktop, otg.desktop, Host.sh and Otg.sh. Before continuing make sure you have Becomeroot package installed.
Here are step by step instructions to install the files:
1) Copy Host.sh and Otg.sh to /home/user/MyDocs
2) Cd into the aforementioned directory and change the files executable by applying commands:
- chmod +x Host.sh
- chmod +x Otg.sh
3) Become root (sudo gainroot) and copy otg.desktop and host.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon
Thats it! Now you have two "applications" in your Extras that you can change the USB port mode into Host and Otg mode as you wish.
There are alternative methods to enable host mode as well. Please see the wiki page.
And if anyone finds better way to do this, please feel free to modify the scripts. (I did find the idea how to make entries to Extras and how to write the scripts from someone's post here... don't remember who was it.... If you "someone" find the scripts very familiar now you know who did "stole" them...
)

when I run ./Host.sh I get:
/home/user/MyDocs # ./Host.sh
/bin/sh: ./Host.sh not found
Any idea why?

Did you set the file executable? (chmod +x ...)
Who has read rights to it? (ls -l)
When I tested this I tried with command "sh Host.sh"... (when in MyDocs directory) that worked for me. (I think this works even if the files are not set executable? But I may be wrong...?)
EDIT: Sure you have Becomeroot installed?

I'm not sure this matters...

This worked nicely for me, at the point I could connect my n800 to my new n810 and read its mmc2 as it were an usb stick.

jgallen23,
I had similar problem and I solved it by downloading Mara's app's again and putting them on my mmc and then manually moving them to my user file at the top of file manager. It took me about three hours to do this because I thought they to be in a MyDocs folder. Once I did that and followed Mara's directions both files showed up in x-term. Also make sure you put them into osso desktop properly. lol, Dan

Mara,
I followed your advise on USB Host mode and got it working great. Thanks.
Can I stop or turn off osso status bar long without damaging the setting for osso-status bar? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan

I'm not sure this matters, as I can not get it to work no matter WHAT I do - seems to be my fate; I start the thread and end being one of the few that can't get what I asked to work - but I digress - I noticed that the USB icon is not present in the "taskbar", is it only there when it's NOT the host?
Just got it to work doing all that you did EXCEPT I had to go to xterm and put it in host mode. I'm thinking you're running something I'm not maybe?
