My n800 setup

Filed under: n800 n770 — admira @ 4:09 am

I know its terrible passe, but I thought I’d write a list of the software I use and default setup options.

Software catalogues added (you can see this in /etc/apt/sources.list):

#maemo:name Nokia Catalogue
#maemo:essential

#maemo:name Anderenen

#maemo:name Abiword
deb http://www.abisource.com/downloads/apt mistral user

The usual essentials are:
xterm
gainroot
openssh

Other items:
Leafpad
gconf
MaemoPad+
VNC Server
VNC Viewer
Autoscan
WifiInfo
Maemo Mapper
GPE Calendar
Battle Gweled
LXDoom
TuxPuck
Freeciv
Nethack
omWeather applet

I also install htop using Red Pill mode: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/man_pages/htop.html

I found a link that described a way of being able to browse root through file manager, quite clever:

1. Start an xterm
2. insert following command in xterm
ln -s / /home/user/MyDocs/root
3. exit xterm

Though make sure you take the instructions from the following website to stop metacrawler using all the CPU:

Anyone have any other programs they love to use on their n800/n770? Or any other repositories? Let me know!
