I am confused about flashing the kernel. I know i can do this from the tablet itself. But, how do I do it? I've downloaded the files (http://sse2.net/rotate/) to my tablet along with the fanoush flasher for the n800 (to flash directly on the tablet) but I just dont get it.

I do not have linux installed natively. But I am using VMware with DSL (Dam Small Linux and Ubuntu Gutsy)
Ok flashing the kernel.

You need to become root. Install easyroot or becomeroot. That is up to you.

In your Terminal, type "sudo gainroot"

Then type "cd MyDocs/"

Now, type "apt-get install wget" (if this fails, use the web browser to download files TO your "device name folder")

wget http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/kernel-2.2007.50-2-rotation.tar.gz

wget http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/kernel_flasher.tgz

tar zxvf kernel_flasher.tgz
tar zxvf kernel-2.2007.50-2-rotation.tar.gz

mv zImage kernel_flasher/
cd kernel_flasher/
./kernel_flash zImage

As for the deb files, the page in the first post tells you how to do it. Although, I must admit, I didn't use it.
