It creates one or more *.deb files to ../. You probably need them all.

I'm assuming you have the OS2008 installed?

When you connect the n800 to your PC you should see both the internal
and the external MMCs on the PC (at least on linux you see both, maybe
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1, see "dmesg") if the you have the MMCs inserted
in the device.

In linux you can mount them like (as root):

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt

In the device those are /media/mmc1 and /media/mmc2 but you won't see
them if you have the USB cable connected.

I have n8x0 always connected with WLAN and copy the files with scp as I
have ssh server installed. I recommend that way.
