<br>I'm exploring the mysteries of Red Pill Mode.</blockquote><div><br>It's completely unnecessary if you manage to install via apt-get in an xterm.<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I noticed a blog item claiming that Red Pill Mode bricked an n800.</blockquote><div><br>No problem. As Marius said you can then re-flash the device. I've done that several times "experiencing" with new system configuration.

</blockquote><div><br>If you're able to use xterm, then you'll find a real Debian system with usual features. But I don't understand your remark about WiFi. Every time you change your /etc/apt/sources.list, you should run 'apt-get update' with an active internet connection. It's the same.

<div><br>I have a flat rate for my mobile phone internet connection, so that I always connect via bluetooth, unless I'm in the nearby of a WAP.<br><br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
