[ammyt]

Hello guys this is my first post over maemo.org i hope i get some help:) I visited this page: http://meego.com/devices/handset/ins...ego-nokia-n900

I read the tutorial, downloaded files required (including W32diskimager)but one question i have is:
after downloading the meego image which is .raw.bz2 i extracted it to get the .raw file how can i write this file using W32diskimager? Shall i extract the .raw file and write the images in it? I tried this one but i found 2 images and a file:confused:. HELP please and thx in advance i'll be grateful.
P.S. I know this might sound a silly question but what can noobs do?:o

All you do is rename the .raw file to "Meego.img" and presto:-D You can now write it to your micro SD card.(This will wipe your entire memory card, as in EVERYTHING!)

I think every one has the right to mess up their device.

Correct but then they don't have the right to ***** and moan about it on the forum because they screwed up their N900 and say that it's a crap device instead of blaming their own inadequote technical skills.

writing right now on my class 6 mmc looking for good results

Totally up to who you are. If you looking for a better OS than Maemo, Meego is not it at this moment, but if you are a Qt developer then i can see the benefit of running Meego 1.1

:confused:
funny what people say. folks: ammy puts some data on an /external/ mmc!
if that hurts maemo in any way, there would certainly be a lot wrong with maemo. well: it doesn't and maemo is fine in this regard.

:cool:
still ammy: there was a post some days ago about how to install uboot with the maemo kernal piggypacked. that way you don't temper with maemo in any way(well besides reflashing the kernel once) and you you dont wear off your int. mmc.
have fun!

nb: i had a glance at what meego folks achieved the last few month: really impressing!

i like to test new stuff and mods, want to get the highest potential of my device even if i ended up with a bricked device, i have my brother's as a backup :p i tried almost all mods including nitdroid so it's meego time ppl :D

i've got some mmcs with multiple osses on them. i patched up uboot a little that it shows me a menu and can read from an ext2 mmc. and boots from the mmc /and/ maeomo and that way maemo stays completely untouched.
the worst to happen is that i have to reformat an mmc.

btw: there is also a virtual machine so you can thest things to some extend on you pc.

hth.

That's what I thought, there is not better OS than maemo5 IMO for the time, I have a lot of fun with it for my personnal use, then I just don't need to try to install meego 1.1 for what I see of it, and I'm not a developer to enjoy myself with.
So let's see when it will be the time to mego 1.2...

[ammyt]

virtual machine? i'd like to search about it.
and btw finished writing i'll flash the kernel tomorrow i got some work now i'll soon be providing feedback. My N900 is off right now

better to wait for the final release of 1.1, otherwise you will damage ur N900.

"damage" is too harsh a word.
