thanks for replying!

I'll go through it again, but yes I was aware of your signature .. I love your signature but was still hitting roadblocks... dependency issues, and missing repositories.. but I'll go through step by step again and see.. If I can just get it all on the SD card.. that's the big issue now. I'll give it another go. it's a shame I don't have my old N800 anymore.. I had that all set up once upon a time. it's a shame gizmo and skype are gone as well. breaks my heart. thanks again!
