Chris Easy route.. (for me at least and most likely you too) go to maemo.lancode.de (not my site) with the n800 browser. navigate to the binary's directory and click on sources.list-0.1-1.deb choose open when the window pops up and yes (ok) when it asks if you want to install it. click on the top bar, or press the menu key, while the application manager is open choose tools -> Refresh application List Once it does the equivalent of apt-get update, choose browse installable applications. Then click on the binoculars at the bottom (search) and search for xterm. click on it and say yes(ok) to install xterm (It will show up in your extras section of the menu. Now to gain root do the search again for openssh .... install that. Once finished open xterm and do ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] passwd rootme of course once you login change the root password and give the user named user a password as well. (so you can scp things from another box to your n800) I also add this line to the bottom of /etc/sudoers user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL this give the user user cart blanche to run anything under the sudo command on my n800. This way you don't have to ssh to yourself as root. Finally I edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config so that remote root login via ssh is verboten.
