to zhone as such: not at all. zhone is basically a sandbox to test features of fso. so far it is the only frontend to place calls, read sim contacts and send/receive sms. so, what you intend is achieved by installing a window/desktop manager, xfce seems to be the one widely used. read http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian and the XFCE section in particular. afterwards zhone runs as simple application. for agenda osmo seems to be the one that fits best, it contains calendar, contacts management and so on -- but is in no way integrated with zhone, ie the contacts are not available there (there's a simple patch to zhone that makes it read the vcf-file of osmo, but that's for another day ;-) navigation is possible via either tangogps or navit, while tangogps is in the debian repository there seems to be no debian/armel package available of navit (yet). for both apps you need to install fso-gpsd. debian uses apt, so that's the tool to install/uninstall/upgrade/search packages. in /etc/apt/sources.list the repositories are listed -- unless you know what you do it is not recommended to fiddle with it. the first step is usually to do apt-get update that updates the list of currently available packages and thus even allows to make upgrades: apt-get upgrade shows a list of packages for which newer versions are available and asks for confirmation apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades even crucial packages like the kernel. to install a particular package (or several) use apt-get install packagename to find a specific package, say osmo, use apt-cache search osmo you get gosmore - Openstreetmap.org viewer / wayfinder / search client ifrit - a powerful tool for visualizing 3-dimensional data sets liblua5.1-cosmo0 - A template library for the lua langua version 5.1 osmo - personal organizer for GTK+ osmo-dbg - Debugging symbols for osmo easy to see that the package names are to the left. you can even search for generic terms like apt-cache search navigation the list is much longer, but with the short description you might be able to filter and then do apt-cache show packagename for a more detailed description. to uninstall you should use apt-get purge packagename purge removes even configfiles, if you want to keep them use remove instead. the simpliest way for you should be apt-get update && apt-get install nodm xfce4 osmo configure according to the link above. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
