Just getting root access is not trivial. Didn't the Application manager log provide enough information?

You're mailing on the "maemo-users" list, which in its "sales information": https://lists.maemo.org/mailman//listinfo/maemo-users states that it's: "A list for users of maemo Development Platform." (It's a bit confusing name.) Maemo development platform information: http://maemo.org/development/ states: -------------- Developing Maemo applications and platform components is easy if you are used to programming Linux desktop applications or other components, and fairly simple if you already know about Linux and GTK+. -------------- I'm not sure whether that can be taken as "requires significant Linux knowledge", but the developer users should be able to use apt at least. - Eero _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
