How to Install GAIM on Nokia 770 OS2006The first challenge for installing gaim for OS2006 is finding it. It's not listed in the application catalog for 2006.It is actual quite easy to install GAIM and other applications are are listed in an application catalog. If you goto the Application Manager it has two sections: Show Installed Applications and Install New Applications. Under Install New Applications it has a very short list of available applications. To fix that problem you need to manually add the urls for application catalogs. This is what I have loaded: Nokia770-26:/etc/apt# cat /etc/apt/sources.list #maemo:essential deb catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/ mistral user deb catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/non-certified/ mistral user deb repository.maemo.org mistral free non-free deb www.maemo-hackers.org/apt mistral main deb http://www.mulliner.org/nokia770/repository maemo2 free deb downloads.kernelconcepts.de/maemo2 mistral free deb repository.maemo.org/contrib mistral free non-free deb repository.maemo.org/contrib mistral free non-free Now there are 3 ways you can load those (and other) urls: 1) Click on the title bar of the application manager, then tools, the application catalog and then key in each url 2) edit /etc/apt/sources.list from an xterm window (you'll probably need root and an editor like vim, or use echo >> 3) ssh to the nokia and then cut and paste from the website! This is the easiest I think. Once you have sources.list updated (by whatever means) you'll have a pretty healthy list of applications ready for installation (including GAIM. You need to install GAIM and then the protocols you want to use). |
