If you need further justification to spend time on keying in each url (can't you copy & paste those?): after you've done that, you can just search the application manager for many many many programs. You aren't doing that just to install GAIM, I bet you can install openssh etc from those repositories as well. One of the many things that got me to favour linux over windows was apt, the program you install software with in debian-derived distros. And yes, 770's OS (is it called Maemo or something) is one of them. It's so much easier than searching the web for some program and then downloading it, running the installer, and then see if it works on your OS, does it come with malware etc.. I assume you're talking about this howto http://board.nokia770hacks.com/How_To/How_to_Install_GAIM_on_Nokia_770_OS2006 I've never used the 770, so I don't know, but could you for example plug in an external keyboard while you type the urls or something?
