Random N900/MAEMO Tips

I'm going to be using this page to jot down some notes about doing stuff on the N900 that I've just gotten. Maybe someone else will find this useful.

Speed up the Application Manager

The application manager uses apt-get, and the default network-related timeouts are rather long. Add this to the end of your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00maemo to speed things up when servers are unreachable:

// Be more aggressive in timing out stuck network connection attempts.          
//                                                                              
Acquire::Retries "1";                                                           
Acquire::http::Timeout "3";                                                     
Acquire::https::Timeout "3";                                                    
Acquire::ftp::Timeout "3";
