Kinda miffed at the whole thing and need help installing an N9 .deb package in xterm and then use meecolay and these are the steps I've taken so far...
1. sudo gainroot
2. cd MyDocs
3. dpkg -x package.deb /
after step 3 nothing happens...
a. specifically, what directory is that / pointing to?
b. since i'm running from MyDocs how will i type in the path to extract to?
c. I do recall marmistrz saying we shouldn't run apps as root...is this the same as "installing under gainroot" and then later calling meecolay opt/bin/ under the same "gainroot" permission?
please help...

You did the worst thing you could ever do. If you don't know the basics of Linux, you shouldn't touch stuff like that. Wait for the GUI, or donate if you want to get the early versions and then the final one without ads. (all the people who don't donate will have the version with ads).

I hear you boss...but I am a developer too so I do understand the risks that come with these things and I have never minded learning the hard way...but I'll take your advice and learn some linux based kernel stuff...
Thanks again...any word on when the GUI will be coming out?...

thanks a whole lot..
the problem is that with dpkg -x package.deb /, no extracted files were found in the various paths i used...i'm trying to install the newest wazapp for n9, loads of dependencies that Iv tried to get...some were successful others outputted errors of no proper representations!!???...no that doesn't sound right...something about the packages not being represented properly...cant really remember the proper adjective that was outputted in xterm...anyway...thanks for your wiki...
erm...one last thing...can someone who knows how to really do this meecolay thing please try the latest wazapp from wazapp.im and let us know if it actually works?...PLEASE
[EDIT]just found it..."has no installation candidate" were the words I was looking for...
