just making sure:

do i need to un tar the debian image, or just the 1gb partion.

  1. Untar the Debian image onto /media/mmc1 or /media/mmc2 ... you now have a big 1GB file called debian.img.ext2 on your SD card.
  2. Navigate to this page on your tablet. Click on either the mmc1 deb or the mmc2 deb, depending on where your Debian image is located. Install the file with Application Manager when the browser asks you.
  3. Enjoy OpenOffice, Firefox, etc.

oh i see, i didnt extract the disk image, only the fake 1gb of memory. Im extracting the disk image now. Have you tried out the DS or PS1 emulator for the n800


should i reinstall the .deb file, because i installed it before i extracted the Debian image.

No. Just put the "debian.img.ext2" file in the right place and try your icons again. It will work if you have the file in the right place.

As I said above, try a small application first, like the matchbox keyboard. (you have to choose the matchbox kbd icon a second time to make it go away)

If that works, then go on to try bigger things.

That's a very interesting piece of information. I'll make sure to include that in future how-to tutorials. Thanks.

They are stock files, so i wouldnt think you would want to add.

Your bzip2 dependency probably works in red-pill mode since thats how bzip2 needs to be installed (wont show in list otherwise). Thats probably not something you want to make users do though.
