I will try and add an easy to use tutorial for installation.
I am in the process now. My N900 hates my ISP (TPG). For some reason it will never work with HAM/FAM.


OK. Done.
Got a Mac or Linux box?
You can install Meego in 2 main steps.

apt-get install uboot-pr13

Download the meego image.
Extract it once to get the meego*.raw
Use mac or linux (windows too, I guess) and dd it to SD..

Reboot phone ad meego should boot...
I will make a Tutorial tomorrow in here (Alternatives Forum).
