Hi. I'm new to the N800 and did an upgrade to the latest OS2008. I have discovered that OS2008 is not backwards compatible with OS2007 in terms of packages you can install. In particular there is a Media Player package ready to install on the OS2007 page but not on the OS2008 page. If I try installing it anyway I get an error message. Can anyone tell me what is involved in creating a version of the .install file that works for OS2008. Or if someone is planning to put one up in the near future, please let us know. I am interested in at least one other package too: Free42. This is the emulation of the HP42 calculator. I am able to install it easily to an ordinary Linux desktop. I have confirmed that the version on the OS2007 download page works when I have OS2007 installed but not when I have OS2008 installed. There is also another application I like to run on a Linux desktop that I haven't seen at all on the download pages. Presumably other people aren't interested. If I want to get it working, it sounds like I have to learn how to use Scratchbox and try to create the .install file myself. Is that the correct direction? Should I be directing these questions to the developers list? -Will Russ Wenner wrote: > Thank you. I did not realize MPlayer was different than the built-in > Media Player. It does play MPEG2 files.
