The telepathy and rtcomm upgrades I installed the other day included support
for IRC, but all I get when I configure for irc.freenode.net is a network
error. Is there some nonobvious trick to setting up IRC? I found Xchat for
Maemo, but it's for an older version and won't install.

Perfect! It took a bit of downloading and rebooting, but now I can

Since adding GSM capability would bulk up the basic unit, it seems that
perhaps an external GSM enabler would be a good move. Connect via
Bluetooth. Maybe even make it work as a speaker/mike, so I don't have to

The normal USB setup is for mounting the N800's SD cards as drives on a

Yeah, I know there's a package. Somewhere.
The problem is not with Canola per se, but rather with the overall
sloppy condition of the Maemo repositories, both on maemo.org and on
other sites.
Software often depends on other packages not in the same repository, and
that's not documented or handled in any graceful way. So long as you
