OK, my bad, I assumed that when you click on a .deb package, the N900 would be smart enough to install it. I only use the commandline, so never done it the GUI way.

Anyhow, you have to install via the commandline then, The instructions at http://sumoudou.org/0/14.html are fixed now.

If you open File Manager and go all the way to the top you will see some folder that has the same name as you called your N900 device. This is the /home/user/MyDocs folder, so if you save the file to this folder, then open the terminal and:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
If you have a MicroSD card in there and you saved it to it, it should be automatically mounted somewhere in /media/ so you can cd there...

Currently , N900 owners in Japan use web services such as Sumibi or Ajax IME.
but these services cannot be used when we are in off-line.
so , your guide is very useful. thanks.

You'll never regret it, man. You'll be flyin' with Emacs. You can read mail with it, manage files, send SMSes, make phonecalls, search dictionaries, browse the web, follow your twitter account, read pdf's, listen to music, view images...

You name it, GNU Emacs does it!

By the way, I've also compiled Prime http://taiyaki.org/prime/

This is the greatest input method especially for a handheld device. Though Japanese originally, can be used for any language, you only type one or two letters and get great predictive options for input.

I'll be posting soon on how to get it working with GNU Emacs on the N900.
