[HD2 Ubuntu Development] plopper:
limewire is a combination of 2 p2p protocolls, 1 of them lost in court.

but thats not the bittorrent part as that can't be taken down.

they can take the trackers down but never dht or pex as that is purely based on the clients (the programs you as user run).

look up the trail manuscripts from the pirate bay case on how gothfried took down half the case against them if you wanna know more.

the screen keyboard is 100% the same as a normal keyboard, there you press shift-2.

now many keyboards show a arrow pointing up on the shift key.

i guess you can figure out the rest.

further info about the keyboard.

on the right you see (if you look closely) 3 squares, the top 1 is the same as the background collor of the keyboard to make it handy.

when you press 1 of the 2 lower ones you see 2 overlay's with the other key's you can find on normal keyboard's and some extra.

like right and middle mouse, use those and the left click becomes those.

that keyboard is designed for touchscreen interfaces, just not specificly for htc.

android is to linux as mac-os X is to openbsd.

mac-os X is a modified openbsd with apples darwin window manager with there own package manager.

android is a modified linux with googles own window manager and there own package manager.

some of the problems you point out are package (software) based, others are driver (os) issues.

the standard arm repository's should work, but if not then it definatly is possible to build a hd2 repository.

but this needs some volunteers to maintain and compile/build the packages.

and a server to store all this on.

gnome automaticly resizes the windows when you change the font size.

i would suggest that dcordes leaves the standard start menu like option from gnome enabled on the next release, as this makes life a bit easier to change all these things.

leave it for a couple minutes, if it shows no life, reboot and try again.

here it also mostly fails on any first attempt to boot.

if that doesn't help, format the sd and reinstall everything.

and repeat the above.

look at the answer to bloodychaos post.

and look up qemu/virtualbox.

1/2) all includes standard in gnome just hidden.

right click on the top bar and enable the gnome menu's (start menu), then look for system-preferences-appearance.

all windows will automaticly resize.

3) thats the adobe-flash-plugin, available in the repository.

4) you can download the packages manually and store them on the sd card and use apt-get to install them localy.

5) good idea

6) look at the answer to dïnnïra's post for an alternative method.

to dcordes:

here it's still failing horrible, can't launch anything, getting loads of errors.

would it be possible to change the development path a bit.

stop getting gnome and all mouse related stuff for now to work and focus on the os.

setup dhcpd on usbeth so it works like thethering on winmo and have sshd running.

this so we can have normal remote access (with a normal keyboard) to the os to mess around with things, this so other ppl can play around and get software to work on it (reducing your workload).

some of the problems seem to have appeared when you changed the root users name, maby switch that back to root.

then later try to add a normal user, like on standard linux (don't worry about gnome running as user, many linux distro's actualy do the same).

but in all i really love what your doing, if you were a girl and my girlfriend wouldn't be watching i would kiss you. lol
