This is awesome! Have you seen Ubuntu 10.7? Might be a better candidate than 9.10. It is Ubuntu for armel devices. Though it are optified to work on arm v8 it would probably work great on n900.

Thanks to b-man for help w/ debootstrap :)


This is how I record macro shots on my N95 (you might be able to do the same for the N86). I smack the front of the phone so the lens moves forward while I'm in video mode. As long as you dont exit the video recorder or switch to picture mode it'll stay in "macro" mode. To return to normal just switch to picture mode and refocus.

@MuhammadAG first of all great work :)

My questions are will i be able to boot ubuntu along side with android/nitdroid, i'm dualbooting at the min. I meen can i use the sd card ext3 partition i allready have or will i need to make a new partiton for that? Right now i have 1gb sd card thats partitioned with 100mb fat32 and 900mb ext3, will that do in case of trible boot is duable? And will the kernel i have be able to boot ubuntu or will that have to be flashed with a new one? In that case will you be able to compile a kernel/zImage that can do both and overclock?

It uses the same kernel you have installed, so if that supports overclocking just follow the same steps you would on Maemo.
It is possible to quad (or even quint) boot, I have Maemo, Eclair, Froyo, Fedora and Ubuntu running. You can boot as many operating systems as you want, as long as you have the partitions for the OSs.

That sounds really good :) Just to make one thing clear i will have to do seperate partitions for each OS on the sd card, if so wich will i have to do, or will the ubuntu boot from same partition as nitdroid/froyo? I'm a bit noob to all this multiple boots and partitioning :o
