This version uses Bundyo's 'hostwin' app to open the IceWM window (and give it a nice icon). The most important thing about this is that there are no more dependencies on Python packages. You can install the easy chroot package on a stock tablet now. It also includes Benson's much more flexible chroot script, which allows you to change your chroot settings by changing the settings in the /home/user/.chroot file.

I've got NX running on the N800! Packages (note it's a bit buggy): * NX components: extract to / * nxcl * nxlaunch. See project page. Sources from http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/freenx/ and http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php Screenshots. And it now works fullscreen!

Conky: The ultimate system monitor

I made a DEB that will clone the currently running OS to a 2GB CARD. It will also clone it to bigger/smaller cards but its not really setup for that.

Booting Debian on the N8x0 NOTE: This page assumes a desire to boot to Debian. However, the package listed under Download can be used to run Debian apps from within the Internet Tablet's standard OS (Hildon). This alternate non-booting method is described in Running Debian chroot.

Python-GPSbt is a binding, based on libgpsbt, that provides access to GPS data through osso-gpsd. It only depends on a Bluetooth GPS device already paired.

PyPackager is a small gui tool to create debian package on a maemo device. PyPackager is based on modified script : bdist_maemo.

A .deb package is quite simple, at least in theory. It consists of a control.tar.gz archive with package control files, data.tar.gz archive of all files that will be installed and debian-binary file that indicates the deb version to use. These files are then placed within an ar archive.

This is a list of working 2008 OS software.

The officially recommended way to create .deb packages for the maemo platform is to use dpkg-buildpackage within Scratchbox. For me, Scratchbox is a pain to install for two main reasons. First, there is no RPM package of the scratchbox environment, so apparently I need to run some scripts as root, let my system get a little messier, which I am not willing to do. Second, the docs advise to turn off SELinux in order to get the Scratchbox environment to work, which again I am not keen to do.

Frothing (Feed Reading On The Hoof) is a news aggregator for online news feeds. There are many other news readers available, but some are not available for mobile Linux devices or require many extra libraries to be installed. Frothing tries to fill this gap by creating a fast, easy to use, easy to install news aggregator for mobile Linux handheld devices
