Hi John,

All,
you can scratch that problem I was having with multilist. It turns out
that my database was hidden because some extra characters got inserted
in the list name that I did notice. Once I corrected that the database
and my hours of work were recovered.
Now...its time to do a IT backup.
Peter,
thanks and yes I did some further refreshing of my understanding of what

modify any of the files in the "parent" OS/file system while easy-debian
is running. Is that correct?

There's an icon that does this for you in your Extras menu. This process
usually takes about 45 minutes, but may take less time if you've got

All,
after installing an 8g SDHC card on my N800 I decided to make use of it
by downloading/installing the Turbo Easy Debian for Everyone v0.9.19 app
that is available now from the maemo downloads www page. It installed
successfully and it deposited apps into several app directory categories
