I followed the steps on page 6 in: Repartition the internal drive, but without the /opt partition. then selected ftp.debian.org/debian lenny as apt-source with: main non-free contrib and there you go...

Confirmed.

I downloaded the Sun Java SE for Embedded (ARMv6 jre 1.6_10 Headful)

Download it here

Just inflate the tar.gz on your PC and use "scp -r" to copy it to your N900. Stick a "ln -s" symlink in your /usr/local/bin (may need to edit your path in /etc/profile)

Used Netbeans to build a little swing gui test application. Copied the jarfile across, runs just fine.

It's only a 90-day evaluation jre, sadly...

I see that Sun requires royalties for embedded jre deployment on anything other than "general purpose" devices. The N900 is most certainly a general purpose computer, just like my linux PC, which we do not pay royalties for.

I have put this question to Sun. Will report back.

Here I am, using a simple java app to browse my N900 filesystem - this is my jre folder in /home/opt/java/jre

@cenwesi - I got your PlaceShifter app running. Don't get too excited yet...it seems to use a bunch of native x86 shared libs, so there will probably be a loud bang when JNI tries to load them.

To test it, I need an example server to connect to....can you point me at one?

Hi!

Could you clarify this a bit....I'm a total n00b when it comes to Linux.
