yeah you'll need to do the dpkg bit through xterm possibly as root can't remember as opposed to clicking on it the command is in same post as deb hopefully that should work sorry if it don't

Dude, sorry for saying that but if you cannot dpkg a file then you have a lot of things you need to learn.
Put the bzip2_1.0blablabla.deb in the root directory of your N900, i.e. in the folder where you see Sounds, Videos, Documents, etc.. then:

Code:

root
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/bzip2_1.0.5-3+0m5_armel.deb

Your repositories are all correct, otherwise, apt-get update cannot complete.

do this
sudo gianroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
then
dpkg -i bzip2_1.0.5-3+0m5_armel.deb.
