Hi,<br><br>thanks for all your quick help!!!!<br><br>Quick comments:<br><br>Tim, the main repository at<br><a href="http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/">http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/certified/</a><br>cannot be disabled.
<br><br>Marius, yes, indeed, it was just an .install file. Even though I still cannot connect to <a href="http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com">catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com</a> (for whatever reason), the package for VIM was received from
<a href="http://mg.pov.lt/770">http://mg.pov.lt/770</a> and that got populated into the application manager even though the tableteer repositories timed out after minutes. So, I got VIM installed.<br><br>Makuchaku, thanks for the tip. But even for that you need an X terminal which I had not had initially... So, thanks to Marius' comments I downloaded the relevant .deb files via my PC to the N800 and when "installing from file" the .deb packages, the application manager does the job.

Quick question: does the application manager require a internet connection? I was trying to install the VIM which I had previously saved on my SD card at home. I currently have no WIFI connection but internet and have just flashed the newer OS version. But whenever I try to install VIM "from file..." it gives me the dialogue "connecting..." and of course never finds something. When I cancel I just get the "Unable to refresh list." dialog and that's it! Any ideas?
<br><br>Cheers,<br>hinrich d8-)<br>
