I am trying to install texlive, but it keeps giving errors because it is not able to fetch some packages from the repository.

I simply run :
Code:
apt-get install texlive
I did not change any settings and the connection is working.

Thank you in advance

The issue of increasing image size keeps coming up every 30 to 50 posts. I had reports that going over 2GB exposes limits in the FAT file system used on the MyDocs partiton, so I am limiting the image to 2GB. And I don't recommend trying to increase the size.

If you want more space, make a second partiton on a microSD card. It really is the best way.

EDIT: closechroot had a bug that should be fixed now. Use "sudo closechroot" from the command line until I have the new version in -testing.

marmota: make sure you do an "apt-get update" to make sure you have the current list of packages.

rm42 & debernardis: The full update was a huge chore. I had to hack an udev package to get it to update (it gives instructions when it fails), and I had to install a bunch of packages that were held back from the update.

Your work is much appreciated. I'll be looking forward to using your new image.

One thing that would be awesome to have is Keepass. Strangely, I did not see when doing dpk -l.

What limits? Performance? I successfully ran my own 4GB (FAT32 max) image without easy debian for a while, but it was a bit slow.

By the way, Nokia should seriously give you some kind of award after it's out of testing. This has to be the single most useful project for Maemo.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

You need to install the easy-deb-chroot package from the Extras repository. Install it with the Application Manager.
it wont let me:

unable to install, some app packages required for installation are missing?
