is the following what I was suoosed to get after putting the command into xterminal?
~ $ sudo gainroot
Enable RD mode if you want to break your device
After you installed rootsh, quit the app manager and proceed as Greg said.

ahhh yeah - i think that means you may not have rootsh installed - http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh
It's my fault - i'm not being very clear.
To run the commands i said you need to be 'root' - translated that kinda means an administrator on your phone.
Rootsh is an application that allows you to easily get root access by typing 'sudo gainroot' (When you close terminal after doing things, it will stop that admin session. (just incase you wondered).
The reason why we are doing this in terminal, is because it provides a lot more feedback then the application manager

Ok, did all that and reinstalled, but no joy 
Still the same as before. I cocked it up when I came across the first Y/n option - amazing the stages that noobies need to know. Was I supposed to keep the readout from X-terminal? Sorry for taking so long, but Maemo won't let me log on on my phone now and I'm at the desktop - don't why that is as it always worked before? Maybe I'm just jinxed ...

- and you've done well so far! It's not really a newbie thing as you are venturing into extras-devel - these are the stages us 'developers'(I use that loosely!) go through to make sure apps work for all by the time they get to extras! (So all testers and testing is very much appreciated).
Don't worry about re-gurgitating everything in terminal, i know it is a pain to get it out onto the forums
Still not sure if you have all the latest versions - but can keep trying, try this in terminal: (Reboot your phone first - just to clean it up and start fresh)
Code:
sudo gainroot apt-get -f install
then try
Code:
dpkg -l python2.5-qt4*
Then after that i think we may just need to get you to re-install pyqt - will walk you through that later

Well, I'm learning Going to try those things now - need time to get my head round it all and I'll post back. Thanks for the help.
And I couldn't even open the video - said something about format not being supported, but that's another day's work. I don't think I can afford to overclock my brain at my age (see, I've even picked up some jargon
)
