SSH on Nokia 770 Internet Tablet
So my apartment complex has free wifi out by the pool. Pretty nice. Got the password from the lady at the front desk and logged right in.
Now that I can becomeroot, I'm able to start doing some REAL work on this thing. Like install a SSH Client & Server. I've never heard of the project before, but I ended up installing the dropbear.
First you should add the maemo-hackers repository to your application manager:
Web Address: http://maemo-hackers.org/apt
Distribution: mistral
Components: main
Leave "Enabled" checked. After you hit ok a few times it should prompt to refresh list of packages. Do this and when you look at "all packages" you'll see quite a few more than you had before. Go ahead and choose to install dropbear-client.
Well isn't that fun - now you can use ssh to log-in to your favorite linux box... but the real trick is getting that ssh server running isn't it? Well, that's a little harder because you have to have root privileges to install the dropbear-server - but we HAVE root privilege
INSTALL SSH SERVER ON NOKIA 770 INTERNET TABLET OS 2006
Close out of the application manager. Start up xterm. Gain root access.
enter the following command in xterm to install the dropbear-server
NOTE: you must have the maemo-hackers.org repository already added into your application catalog
Now run ifconfig to check your ip, open putty or some other ssh client on another machine somewhere - and dig the log-in:
I also found this cool themeing app, it's java so you can run it just about anywhere. You can reskin your Nokia by editing just one jpg and using the java app to compile the .deb - then if you don't like it, you just uninstall it!
to-do list: updated
BTW, the default root password is rootme, and that ssh server is always on. You may want to change that root password like - right away...

Gain Root Access to Nokia 770
First you'll want to download the "becomeroot" package. I found a copy on the Polish Eko1 repository.
After you nab a copy of becomeroot_0.1-2_armel.deb, you can install it by using the "install from file" option in the application manager.

Then you can open up xTerm. You did install xTerm right?
The command "sudo gainroot" will open a root shell.

got xTerm up and running, it's definitely a debian based linux. The media card is mounted at /media/mmc1

Nokia 770 Internet Tablet back in hand!
Finally, after a week of waiting - I just got stock in today.
Naturally, I've updated the to-do list: http://thoughtsbyclayg.blogspot.com/2007/06/goals.html
Worth noting the screen shot app mh-shot-tool and this slightly cool screenshot.
