It can use the internal GPS. Just select bluetooth and leave the MAC ADDRESS field empty.

About Process
If you open an application , the system will create a process.
By opening an application, one can means several things :
- Launching a new program (ie asking the kernel to basically load a new
program in memory and to schedule it). See for instance the execve
system call ('man 2 execve' on a fully fledged UNIX terminal) ;
- Showing the window of a program that's already in memory but that's
not displayed at the moment.
You seams to be more interrested in the first case, so you should read a
book about UNIX operating system. The two references in this (quite old)
field are from Tanenbaum [1] and Bach [2].
You can also find on the web a quite still interresting document : the
commented unix source code by Lyon.

About N810
At first,I add many repositories to the application catalogue
Then I enter apt-get update in the osso-xterm .At last I open other
osso-xterm and input ps -awx. You will find there are many processes
of http.
An application may consist of several colaborating processes. For
instance, apt-get may choose to fork several instances of an http
client to fetch various http servers in parallel. There's nothing to
worry about (untill it gets mad and forks hundreds of processes, which
_may_ be too much, sometimes).

This is rather hard to figure out (unless you read the documentation, but who reads documentation these days?), and that's why I asked for a clearly-labeled Use internal GPS option: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=2366group_id=29atid=185 Marius Gedminas -- Those who can't write, write manuals. signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
