New version coming out in the next few days. This will fix the few small bugs people have discovered (and some I've discovered myself), and it will make /var/tmp available for the very cool DBus Switchboard, so you can open your .doc e-mail attachments with OpenOffice from the built-in e-mail client, or start Java applets from the built-in web browser...

Is there anything that people would like added? Ask now!

I am just curious what this will will do if we have it already installed?

Will we have to re-install the whole thing or just the image file?

Eather way i am extremely anxious for this release!
Thanks for all the hard work!

I'm not updating the image file until the Open Java team put out a new version of Open JDK 6 that has a working Java Web Start (none of this "invalid xml" error crap!) Hopefully, there's a new version coming soon to Sid. I'll be watching the package page closely...

This new version will simply fix some bugs in the scripts and get things working smoothly with DBus Switchboard. Nothing revolutionary, sorry...

I found a mention in the IRC logs that there's another icon conflict, this time with the deblet.png icon. The fact nobody has pointed this out to me suggests that we don't have any deblet users using Easy Debian to access their Deblet partitions... My new version will fix that too.

I use this to access my Deblet.. I just.. reinstalled last week - got busy - forgot to answer the deblet questions before the battery died.. and haven't had time to rebuild it again .

Sorry Qole. I love the Easy Debian.. allows me use my deblet and keep the auto-lock features and easy wireless/Bluetooth through OS2008.

mandrake64: Easy Debian supports everything that OS2008 supports, you just have to do things in the proper order. You see, all the existing hardware attached to the tablet is mounted to Easy Debian at the time you "start it up", but anything you plug in afterwards will not be recognized. So, if you want to use a new device, you need to:
  1. Close Debian (use the menu option)
  2. Plug in your USB device
  3. Open your Debian application / environment

The other option is to manually mount your device (if you can't close your Easy Debian environment). From a root OS2008 terminal, type:

Code:
mount -o bind /media/usb/sda1 /debian/media/usb/sda1
I should probably write another script that scans for changes and remounts your MMC and USB devices when asked.

@qole,
Yes, you are right. I can see usb flash memory in Easy Debian File Manager anymore. Its incredible that we can view and edit alll Office documents in N800 anymore by your amazing invention. This is a revolution for N800. Thank you very much indeed.
God bless you

mandrake64: This isn't my invention God bless Sun Microsystems!

Faithful Beta Testers: New version in Extras-Devel, install it and see if it doesn't break your tablet, ok?
