Just a FYI, for those who are even remotely interested; you can actually install xterm inside the emulator.
I was curious about the experience of xterm on the emulator (what can you say, I'm a serious glutton for punishment. A shell (xterm) inside a emulated window (xeypher) inside a shell (scratchbox) inside another shell (bash), inside x11 (gnome) inside a VM (virtual pc)... LOL.
Wow, is that a totally awful experience running xterm inside the n900 emulator window. No wonder it isn't shipped with it...
I'll be using the scratchbox window to do anything worth while for the emulator. It is a Much, Much, Much, Much, Much faster and saner environment.
Oh, and btw; the "Enter" key on the number keypad works, the main "enter" key on the keyboard doesn't appear to work in the osso-xterm. So if you type a command and hit "Enter" and nothing happens it might be because you hit the wrong one...

Code:
fakeroot apt-get install osso-xterm

Hi,
you find a guide how to use the AM here. Maybe this will solve your problems.
Cheers Daniel

Both acted the same way. Are you saying AM is allowing you to install for you inside the emulator?

yep...it works fine. But have you:
1) enabled the red pill mode and
2) checked the box "Assume net connection" in the settings?
Cheers Daniel
