Can anyone make a tutorial for dummies, because I don't have a clue how to install it (I have already downloaded the 2Gb file)?

I can confirm as well. I d/l'd Easy Debian maybe 2-3 weeks ago. Did the upgrade to 51-1. Just loaded open office writer and was typing by a count of 34 one thousand. Very fast relatively.
I didn't do any apt-upgrades or anything, just the "stock" image file.

Quoting from another thread:
One thing I would like to see is a choice of images to use, each of them customized a little different. For example, we could have different size images, ones with KDE and Qt libs already installed, etc. I would personally love to see an image with lyx already installed.
But, thanks for the most jaw dropping experience on my N900 so far.

Hibernica:
1) Don't update the image. It isn't meant to be updated. There are many problems with trying to update the image, one the worst of which is the fact that OpenOffice no longer runs. Many of the problems are the fault of the Debian armel Sid distribution, which seems to be in a particularly bad state right now.

There are a lot of people quietly using Easy Debian. This would be a great way to contribute to the project.

EDIT: And as for the warning against updating the image -- that's a fairly new warning. Something has broken badly in OpenOffice for ARM and we'd love them to fix it...

Qole, after dcarter's post above, it's likely that the magics is in 51-1. The other thing I've done is sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade on the debian distro (which btw gave me errors about a conflict between lxsession and lxsession-lite).
Try by yourself...Might be that one of your several N900 devices deserves a reflashing
Also, yes, LXDE is quite updated now. It uses wicd for network connectivity, which doesn't work due to the usual GConf errors.

I added a warning in the Wiki about doing an update/upgrade.

If that is still an issue, for the keyboard layout: just put "@setxkbmap de" in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart in your debian chroot for the german layout...

Hi I am downloading debian-m5-v2.img.ext2.bz2 from http://qole.org/files/ because I don't have an internet connection on my n900, my question is how do I install it on my n900, through app manager or do I have to use commands in xterminal ?
