FatPhilOK, another n900's died (very weird death, this one - only the keyboard has failed, but alas that makes it unusable), so time to pull another rando 2nd-hand one out of the stash I've been accumulating.16:11
FatPhilthe bugger doesn't even have all my normal stuff installed (simple stuff like ssh), and package manager is unsurprisingly pointing to non-existent repos16:12
FatPhilis it possible to just use the normal apt-* command line tools, I hate using a gui when editing configs and command-lines I'm familiar with will do the job.16:13
FatPhilI remember someone saying "always use the application manager, nokia tweaked something so you get bitten in the arse if you don't"16:14
FatPhilit's all so far back in history now.16:14
KotCzarnyyou should be ok for simple install/remove16:14
KotCzarnyit's the 'upgrade' one that can be tricky16:14
FatPhilmy recollection was something like icons embedded in the package lists, so the package manager could show something pretty to waste screen real-estate.16:16
FatPhiloooh, gawd, I don't seem to have gainroot on this new one.16:17
FatPhiland without ssh, I can't ssh root@localhost16:18
