I could argue otherwise. They can always learn what the commands do as they start to need them. Maybe their point in grabbing this phone was so they could learn linux commands (a natural consequence of tinkering) or maybe they really like the idea of having source. Everyone has to start somewhere, and I think it's good that he's willing to learn. Using this phone is like linux about 10 years ago. Lots of shit doesn't work great out of the box but improvements happen so fast one always wants to stay close to bleeding edge everything. Tinkering is how one learns and what makes this phone fun (for me anyway). In fact, tinkering is what separates most of us from our fellow proprietary software users. He may not be a power user yet, but that comes in time. Only other thing I have to say, don't be afraid to break anything software: a change can almost always be undone or lead you to fix the problem, and worse case scenario just re-flash the image. Except maybe those fluid commands for flashing the modem firmware, be more careful with those. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Navit is not finding current position
Any hint on this? What am I doing wrong? If you run Navit from the terminal, it may tell you... In my case, it seems that the libgps installed on my system is too new. I haven't figured out how to solve this yet, but I'll let you know if I find out.
