Like I said, "It is very much not functional as a phone out-of-the-box, because of the ongoing FSO1->FSO2 transition. X however starts automatically and SSH answers, and you may work your way from there,". So, you have X but for more you need to connect via SSH and install something workable. The Debian unstable repository is ongoing changes, and there is no simple functional GUI at the moment. You can install Zhone from experimental as instructed at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner#Current_Status_of_Installation_via_install.sh , but people reported problems with it although it starts. Alternatives include installing a Debian stable and using Zhone there, although if you don't have SIM Zhone is mostly about phone functionality only anyway. So, it is a work in progress and currently requires a lot of manual work. My solution at the moment has been using circa Debian 6.0, Zhone and my own dirty hack control app (https://github.com/tjyrinki/tihos), but unfortunately I haven't done a clean install of my way that I could share with others. Some others use for example IceWM for window manager and launching applications like GPS. -Timo _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
