How do I find the pygtk installer or package. I have everything working except for that. I have python-2.5. Any help would be very appreciated. I tried look for it but could not find it in the maemo.org site.

Qole, you should get yourself to the Maemo Summit (with sponsorship, probably) and do a talk/demo of Debian chroot on top of Maemo.

Is there a way to install the IceWM Window Manager with an existing setup of a debian chroot? Like one on its own partition made by following the wiki article about running debian in a chroot?

That sounds cool. I'll apply for sponsorship and see what happens!

EDIT: Applied. We'll see what happens.

Yes, there is. It's very simple, actually. I am going to be posting some little scripts and stuff over at the developer's thread for you guys who are already running a chroot in a partition, or if you have multiple chroots and you want to switch between them. Just give me a few days; I've been neglecting my family a bit, I have to mend some fences

The open-source Java components are all installed, including the Firefox plugin, the JamVM, classpath, gappletviewer, etc.

You can run the "Debian chroot" menu item and try:

Code:

/usr/lib/classpath/gappletviewer http://java.sun.com/applets/jdk/1.4/demo/applets/TicTacToe/example1.html

This will (eventually) let you play a simple game of tic-tac-toe.

(or try one of the other demo applets)

My tests indicate that Java applets via Debian run about the same speed as through Jalimo, ie very slowly.

Thanks, that's a bug in my instructions!

I should have written, "python2.5-gtk2"

That package should be in the "extras" repository. If you can't find that package, perhaps the best thing is to install something else that uses that package, like the very cool "mytube" app.

I added a new section to my first post, how could I have forgotten it!

THANKS:

Johnx for egging me on about Gimp

, providing a new Debian rootfs, and getting me interested in Debian on the tablets again
penguinbait for the base downloader script from his very cool KDE packages
Benson for always knowing the answer
debernardis and the hackers over in the developer thread for figuring stuff out with me (and for wanting openoffice so badly

)
thp for showing us how cool it would be to have an easy-switching window manager in his video

When I D/L the easy-deb-chroot package the App Manager asks where I want to put Office, Abiword, etc. Do I put them on a card or in Extras?

Thanks,

Bill
