Thanks. I had no success from trying Neil MacLeod's suggestion of changing "mistral" to "gregale" for the Distribution in the Application Manager Catalog repository data. Then looking for xterm in the new Application Catalog, I did find osso-xterm-advanced and sorta figured out your recommendation of the "green arrow" scripted download routine. And it worked like a charm. Now I easily became root and could do terminal operations. But the same Application Manager apt-get snag came up again when trying to partition my 1GB MMC card. This was a step in the HowTo for booting from the MMC. These are excerpts from the terminal (the same error and failed to fetch occurred for all six packages to be installed): ------ / # apt-get install e2fsprogs ------ Err http://repository.maemo.org mistral/free e2fslibs 1.37-2sarge1 Temporary failure resolving 'repository.maemo.org' ------ Failed to fetch http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo2.0/free/e/ e2fsprogs/e2fslibs_1.37-2sarge1_armel.deb Temporary failure resolving 'repository.maemo.org' ------ E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? ------ / # ------ Is this an issue with repository.maemo.org or am I just missing something? Again your advice would be appreciated. --Don Nokia 770 OS2006 On Jul 21, 2007, at 6:01 PM, <quim.gil at nokia.com> wrote: > Go to http://downloads.maemo.org/product/osso-xterm-advanced with your > tablet and click the green arrow.
