Thanks.  Just installed ownCloud.

Yes, I had been there, but I had gone to the "Grab the binary packages
directly" and that's where only the tar.bz2 file was.  This time, I went
the preferred route and added the file for the openSUSE Debian repo and
it seems to have installed correctly.

Found it.  Unfortunately it requires Android 2.2 and I have 2.1-update1,
so it looks like I'll have to find a way to upgrade to 2.2 as an
interim step or just forget doing anything with the current version and
just install something else (CM or Replicant).  More on that in other
sub-threads.

I'll see if I can do something with what's already on the phone.  I have
set up a wifi router on my network and the phone connects.  Now I'll
have to point it to the ownCloud server.

Thanks for helping!
