copy/paste the output from Xterm here. Include the result of 'ls -la /home/user/MyDocs'

If possible, copy/paste - because this is very likely to be a typo.

Also, at the # prompt, type:
Code:
ls -la
which will list all the files in the current directory so we can see if the N11_Vostok.tar.bz2 file is actually there or not...

Good news that you've cracked it.
As regards Android, I've never used it but I know you can't make phone calls. I'm sure there's many threads here that will help you.

Tip: do a google, and add "site:talk.maemo.org" to your search to find stuff here - eg: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%...20android%203g
