    devel-su works for me, but unfortunatelly I’m not successfull with root@localhost and user@locahost, it says: “connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused”

    Does anymore know whats the problem? Do I have to chance sth in etc/ssh/ssh_config or sshd_config?

    Minor typos, some missing spaces:
    “dpkg-i filename.debThere are basically two ways to install Apps / Games on MeeGo – Nokia N9.”

    should be:

    “dpkg -i filename.deb
    There are basically two ways to install Apps / Games on MeeGo – Nokia N9.”
