After 3 years, I wiped out my old installation and went thru from scratch to see what is the difference between 770 and N900, today, I found out 2008He is ROCK stable on MMC boot, crashed occasionally on internal flash, likely 2nd to low memory.

Installation

1) 2008He on Internal flash
dl http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/ SU-18_2008HACKER_4.2007.50-6_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin and flash with Nokia Software wizard

2) add the 48 MHz speed booster http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=22155

3) remake bootmenu http://www.forums.internettablettalk...howthread.php? t=22771

4) clone to mmc boot http://forums.internettablettalk.com...ead.php?t=8631 1st post and thread #292

5) manually install tear http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=741699

6) To display Chinese: dl fireflysung.ttf from here, at root,
fc-cache --f
reboot


The most difficult part is to figure out which repository is for what software, especially with bora/chinook/diablo/fremantle and more, mistral/gregale,

Some observations in using 2008He on the int flash of 770.

1) Try NOT to issue too many commands too fast, this will avoid crash and reboots, especially initial boot up, wait a couple of minutes will do. The crashes is mainly due to short of memory. 2008He runs much more smooth on mmc boot.

2) re check connections will always connect, plug in power cord always help to connect.

Pros: it works, and is almost a full fledge laptop
cons: audio with headphone, no skype
