Hi, >> While online, I installed a few apps (xterm, ssh, GAIM, etc.), and >> tried setting my path in /home/user/.profile to include the install >> directory, as well as \bin and .

Make sure that the paths are in correct order and that you don't overwrite PATH, but add to it. > Ordinarily your profile is not executed as part of the boot sequence, It is, if you have auto-login enabled. (Maemo doesn't have xdm, so it doesn't have auto-login, it starts X server & user "session" directly from bootup scripts.) > but this is not an ordinary Linux system so who knows :( One additional difference is that the device has BusyBox shell, not the (huge) GNU Bash. BusyBox shell doesn't support all Bashisms. - Eero
