I just assumed that anything you can do in Linuxland without xterm can be done better with xterm. Thanks for correcting my erroneous thinking. In an earlier post to this list, you said that one could "manually download the deb packages directly from the web repositories to your PC and then transfer them to your tablet via USB. Then install them directly with Application Manager." Red Pill Mode isn't needed to do it this way, right? I'm sorry that I mentioned it earlier--it's a bit of a red herring, I guess. I like the way that it lists dependencies. I've had some difficulties finding the proper deb packages at the web repositories. Is an active internet connection required after the deb packages are downloaded to the n800? Tallyho, Thomas Armagost silly at well.com http://sillyblog.net
