I'd certainly be interested in informatin about getting armel on my m800. There seems to be progress in compiling a kernel and setting p a reasonable initial file system, but it's not clear what I have to do to enable the n800 to actually boot from it. I think I'm looking for instructions that are more end-user-friendly than the ones in > http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2007-February/008480.html I really don't know how to make my n800 boot differently, nor how to get it back the way it was if things go horribly wrong. But having Debian instead of maemo will, I suspect, make life easier -- at least finding packages to install and using gcc and the like. > > (setup 2 and 3 are of interest here) > > I had quite low feedback.

But if I remember wrong, it just shows how little I know about it. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
