TODO (with revision number = done, but untested):
  • (rev 132) --reuse-options option
  • (rev 84) Bootmenu item generation
  • other SSD optimizations?
  • add README file (another good PanzerSajt's suggestion)
  • <_PanzerSajt> 3: make a main script with a basic menu (with dialog) from the user can select what he wants to do
  • <szopeen> some cleanup (process killing) on errors would be a nice addition
  • add an option to purge unneeded packages?
  • find out what is writing new partition table on the first boot (jasper?) and rewrites /etc/default/keyboard
  • concurrent partitioning and downloading
  • review custom fstab (get rid of it?)
  • recheck all workarouds and get rid of unneeded ones

Workarounds not included in the script:
* PanzerSajt's accesories branch: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-n900-accessories
* caveman's post with fixes: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=296
* fix wlan numbering: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=202
* all images are blank:
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
* onboard shows black:https://answers.launchpad.net/onboard/+question/195106
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-gi-cairo
* enable swap on the internel mmc:
Code:
echo "/dev/mmcblk1p3 swap swap defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
* right click: http://www.staff.amu.edu.pl/~kalmar/blog/?p=247 or http://forums.webosnation.com/3173082-post471.html
* install an armel package:
Code:
dpkg --foreign-architecture armel -i package.deb
* remove armel package:
Code:
dpkg -P package:armel
* QEMU segfault? Upgrade.

DONE:
  • (rev 44) get rid of /SWAP.swap
  • (rev 45) move /tmp to tmpfs
  • (rev 46) add other kernel boot parameters for selection
  • (rev 47) add "setenv atagaddr ${init_atagaddr}" to boot.scr
  • (rev 49) Fixed swap partition number
  • (rev 50) try moving all options to the start of install.sh (it will also store all selected options on the PC for reports)
  • (rev 53) rc.local fix and keyboard workaround
  • (rev 57) Moved root to the third partition to fill microSD completely
  • (rev 55+) Nemo kernel support
  • (rev 72+) Kernel switching script
  • (rev 80) The first revision to install the released 12.04 properly.
  • (rev 100) Writing the root filesystem to a file or partition.
  • (rev 102) Showing report template in the end.
  • (rev 125) Old-stable.
  • (rev 132) The latest stable. But contains two major bugs at least. Better help with the unstable.


Feel free to propose anything or make a patch/help with it.
