Hi,

Just installed maemo. :-) After installing it said logout and then start 
/usr/bin/scratchbox
On my install that doesn't exist. So I went to the scratchbox site and 
discovered that I had to do /scratchbox/install instead.

It might also be good to mention on the download page how to start 
scratchbox. Furthermore the text /etc/apt/sources.list should contain 
the following might be confusing for people. With an install that is 
there. I read that people added these lines to the sources.list of their 
Debian system and by that completely hosed their system.

I suggest removing the remark about the sources.list file and to put 
something there on how to start scratchbox and how to install and run 
one of the maemo apps instead.

Furthermore I (and probably other debian users) would like to have 
debian packages instead of the install script. The scratchbox project 
already provides debian packages for scratchbox
