I tried to install FSO from within neocontrol and I didn't succeed
one problem is that the terminal window closes too fast and it's not
easy to see that there were errors so I had to check the sources[1]

the first error is that fso-gsmd-openmoko and fso-usaged-openmoko
can't be found in the repositories, this is my sources.list from
qtmoko-debian-gta02-v48.tar.gz

deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian squeeze main
deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian squeeze contrib
deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian squeeze non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/debian/ /
deb http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/apps /

the second error is that libfsogsm.so.0.0.0 can't be installed because
the target directory is missing (I guess this is because the packages
weren't installed in the previous step) so the file remains in / and
if you later retry to install from within neocontrol then wget
downloads another copy with a .1 suffix but the script wil try to
install the previous copy (and both remain in / since installation
fails again) so I suggest you add the explict destination name with
the -O (--output-document) option of wget, also we can assume the /tmp
is available or let wget overwrite the destination file, avoiding to
use "mv"? eg:
wget http://activationrecord.net/radekp/pub/libfsogsm.so.0.0.0 -O
/tmp/libfsogsm.so.0.0.0
or
wget http://activationrecord.net/radekp/pub/libfsogsm.so.0.0.0
--output-document /usr/lib/cornucopia/libs/fsogsm/libfsogsm.so.0.0.0
