<br>Best regards,<br>Ed<br></blockquote></div><br><br>You're right Ed, it's not a matter of linux flavour, but of availability of debian utilities for your distribution. I know you can always download the sources and install what you need, but I still think that if Maemo for Scratchbox provided these tools just out-of-the-box life would be a little bit easier for us ;-) !
<br>Anyway, I'm gonna try the Sardine way and see if I can manage to make it work.<br><br>Luca Donaggio<br>
