but if its in the mydocs path you will need to run it in that path.so
If it is in the mydocs folder
Code:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/filename.deb

Where did you download the file too? - if you downloaded it straight into your MyDocs folder, then thats where the file will be.
Imagine it was a pc.... In windows your my documents nowadays sits under c:\documents and settings\username\documents.... or something like that... similar on your n900, just a set of different folder names
In this case, here
/home/user/MyDocs/filename.deb
alternatively in terminal you can do :
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
Code:
dpkg -i filename.deb
Code:
dpkg -i ./filename.deb
Once you are in the right folder you can type ls ( 'LS'- in lower case, ls is the same as dir in dos) It will then list all files in that folder.
