Hold on a moment ... if the OP is just interested in installing something like maemo-mapper to using their BT GPS module than you certainly don't need xterm or apt-get. There are three ways to install deb files without resorting to the command-line: 1. While downloading the file via the web browser, choose Open rather than Save. 2. If you have a deb saved on your 770 somewhere, just double-tap it in the file manager. 3. You can open the Application manager and choose Package -> Install from file ... from the pop-down menu in the title bar However, the best way to install apps on the 770 is not directly via the deb files but rather to set up the application catalogs (aka repositories) (via the Tools -> Application catalogue ... menu) that contain the applications you want and then install the new app them via the Install new applications button in the manager. This will ensure that all the correct dependencies are satisfied and it is simple to upgrade if a new version comes out. Unfortunately, some of the more popular apps and libraries are not in the repositories included in the 770 by default so a bit of work is needed initially to add the repos you need ... then it is simple to install/delete apps as needed.
