You'll also want to be sure the application manager is not running because that will stop the .deb package from being installed.

When you install debian files with xterminal. Do they use root memory or only the 2GB. And does is effect the speed of the device. Thanks!

I'd also suggest looking at some documentation on APT, which is the tool that sits between dpkg and the Application Manager. There's a useful guide here: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/apt-get… – just ignore anything talking about apt-setup, as Application Manager takes care of those steps itself (and you don't want to interfere with it). Section 3 is especially useful because you can search to see if dependencies for packages you install manually happen to be available (Application Manager normally doesn't list everything so as to simplify the experience).

Whoa, thanks for the tip! Tab makes it MUCH faster to type filenames!

Some hints that save typing:

1. "sudo gainroot" can be shortened to just "root" if package rootsh is installed. The difference is that "root" places you in "/root" instead of "/home/user".

2. You don't want to be typing long filenames and directory names. It's tedious and you risk mistyping them. Just type the first few characters and press "Tab" under the terminal window.

An example. "$" and "#" are the shell prompts. Don't type them.

$ root
# cd /huM
# dp -i ba
