Mind if I ask another dumb question?<br><br>Downloaded base-repository.install (for OS2007) to Mac mini. Uploaded<br>base-repository.install from Mac mini to n800 via USB. No problem.</blockquote><div><br>If you download a
base-repository.install, this will give information to the Application Manager to configure a new deb repository. That's not what you need. What you need is to download a deb package, and then install it directly.<br>

<br>catalog? -> OK -> Select connection -> Cancel -> Unable to refresh<br>list. Last refreshed list is shown.</blockquote><div><br>If you've got no wi-fi connection, then Application Manager is unable to refresh package list. You need to do so every time you change your repositories.

<br><br>The thing is, no wireless hotspot is available to me now. I'm<br>planning to install a WAP in my room and connect it to a wired<br>router eventually, but not tonight.<br><br>Am I doing something wrong? There must be some way to install apps
<br>without WiFi.</blockquote><div><br>Sure, just manually download the deb packages directly from the web repositories to your PC and then transfer them to your tablet via USB. Then install them directly with Application Manager.
