I have read the forums and been mightily impressed with developments and ports. With 2.11 downloaded and installed I thought I'd try some of the ports I've enjoyed reading about. I successfully downloaded the developer package (not straightforward but figured out you had to connect again for the MAC address to show up). And then ... no clue how to get shell accesss or run the ported apps. I found some extra folders on my CF/MMC cards (Books/Notes/Docs ...) but nothing else. I think I expected to find a root directory or some sort of change to suggest a reflashing package had appeared somewhere but nothing is in evidence.

So, after one has downloaded the developer package for shell access what needs to be done to run apps? Any guidance or advice would be appreciated. Cheers.
