Anyone know if there is an updated flash player plugin for Iceweasel aka Firefox 3? I still can't play flash movies in webpages, I like watching News clips...

I love the debian environment. Can I try other enviroments as well?

I have some comment on the new debian. The matchbox keyboard does not help inside the debian environment. Instead I have to use the virtual keyboard and use focus. Can this be fixed?

When I am inside debian what is the root password? when using passwd to change it it asks for current password? How to obtain root privileges inside debian to install packages.

The link to the deb file doesn't work:
"The requested URL /easy-deb-chroot-0.6-2_armel.deb was not found on this server."

Edit: Now it is. Thanks.

I may be a bit late to the Debian party, but I just wanted to say...

I had installed the previous version of easy-deb-chroot, then uninstalied it, ncluding deleting the debian image file... upon re-installation of the newer version 0.6 everything goes fine except that the debian image file is not fetched / installed. Something must still be around from the previous install. Any suggestions what to look for and clean by hand?

If you want root access in Debian, just run the 'Debian chroot' menu item in OS2008. It will not ask for a password. If you want to install software via Synaptic, use the 'Synaptic Package Manager' menu item.

The root and user passwords in Debian are the same as your OS2008 passwords. If you don't know what they are, don't try to get root in IceWM.

The Debian Image Installer just downloads and 'unzips' a big file on your memory card. It might have problems if you aren't connected to the 'Net, or you don't have enough space... Please post specific errors.

And I really don't think the open source Flash player will ever be as good as the one we have in the OS2008 browser.

It does ask for a password on my N810.

After installing the easy chroot .deb and rebooting, your tablet should not ask for root password anymore, since I added a line to sudoers that lets you type, 'sudo <command>' and it will run any command without root password.

Perhaps you have some sudo / gain root package installed that specifically enables the root password?

I had Rootsh installed, but I uninstalled it and rebooted. It still asks for a password. When I click enter, it closed Debian chroot.
