In synaptics, would that be cupsys-client?

It should be cups-client, but I think cupsys-client is just a transitional package, which means cupsys-client is just an empty package that installs cups-client.

A housekeeping question. Once I remove an application with Synaptics, such as GIMP, how do I then remove the corresponding menu item. Also, since Debian Image Installer does not do anything now, can it's menu item also be removed?

My intention is to build a little app that synchronizes the Debian and Maemo app menus, but until then, you'll have to manually go to the terminal and type:

Code:
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/image-install.desktop
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/gimp.desktop

Good news; Midori doesn't crash in this version! But it's pretty slow on GMail... YouTube is fine.

If you were using a previous version (0.6 or older), or you get this error, please do the following:

1. Uninstall all versions of Easy Debian
2. Reboot
3. Install the new version
4. Reboot
5. Try again to start the system
6. Report back; does this work?

Indeed - works - those reboots in the middle solved the problem.

Although I'm bit concerned about n8x0 internal flash speeds.
I'm using large (256MB) swap on mmc1 so I've decided to put easy-debian image on mmc2 (in typical PC based manner).
First feeling is that my previous one (located also on mmc1 - just as swap file) worked bit faster.
I consider starting up OO application like calc.

Anyway - great work Quole!

Hi,
After clicking on the green symbol, I only see a textpage concerning the install and the repo.
In AppMan there's no entry for easy-dec-chroot.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, qole! This is really amazing job! Thank you!
But, I have little question: can you make same image, but without OpenOffice, Firefox and Gimp? I think, some users, like me, dont really want this massive applications, but rather just need access to Debain repository.

Hi Newbie question (so apologies in advance)

You say that the installer can be downloaded to any location, I guess that you will still need to install it on the internal memory card? If so am I better off adjusting my setup so that I boot from my external card?


Thanks

Steve
