Some handy plugins for Iceweasel:

Grab and drag: for Easier scrolling
Tiny menu: install, and gain screen real-estate by moving the necessary buttons to the menu bar, and then disabling the navigation toolbar

I know this is not a support forum, but I'm stuck and I don't know any other place to ask:

I did manage to install VLC (using image V3b), but the colors are off (purplish). There is also some stuttering. Did anyone manage to install it correctly, and if so, how? I had to enable the Squeeze repository before it would even install at all.

In debian chroot terminal mode (or after sudo debian in osso_xterm) you can set the root password for your debian system yourself by entering "passwd" on the command line.

I just installed debian and it works great.

I do have 1 problem with it however and I was wondering if anyone could help me. Every time i make any changes, like change the background, or change the location of the taskbar it changes back after i close debian and go back in. Is there anyway i can save the settings? And how do you guys normally close debian, do you: go to the close debian application in maemo, close it in the dashboard, or logout from within debian? (i've never tried this one).

I got a feeling this question was answered already in this thread, but I couldn't possibly go through every post.

Ok, ok, the flurry of updates is coming to an end. I think 0.9.44-1fremantle1 is going to Testing (and ten days later, to Extras).

Thank you all for your patience!

This version has the Function-keys mapped to shift-fn + top row keys (for english keyboards). Your custom .xbindkeysrc won't be overwritten, however. Look for the .xbindkeysrc.dist file after upgrade.

The installer is also more polished, including a sound'n'light show when the extraction is done.

I am also satisfied with the packaging.

When everything is in testing, I'll give you directions to vote...
