Comment:

 The Help->About window reports it as version 2.5.2.  I don't know if the
 old version is still installed I am afraid.

 This Elonex One T came with a built in operating system (Linos?) and
 utilities with a graphical interface.  The upgrade from 2.5.0 to 2.5.2
 happened when I selected the desktop icon for "Software Upgrades".  The
 application presumably searches for available patches and upgrades - sadly
 I haven't a clue what site it searches at the moment I am afraid.  There
 doesn't appear to be an option for uninstalling patches or the standard
 applications ... only for removing ones that have been added later.

 I wasn't aware I was running Pidgin as root ... I just turn the netbook on
 and click on icons.  I can see that I am going to have to involve myself a
 lot more!

 To install applications manually, it wants two files in a Download folder
 ... a .info file and a .xap file.  If two such files existed somewhere for
 a complete later version of Pidgin, maybe I could install that?  I have
 searched but on your site I can only find instructions for setting up
 automatic searching for upgrades using sudo ... but sudo does not appear
 to be loaded on this netbook.
