I am wanting to flash my N900 with the eMMC image

The first problem i have is that i have a 64bit windows 7 machine.

I am very new to linux and have little knowledge of commands but about a month ago i

installed debian 5 on my older machine so i decided to try using the linux pc to flash my phone.


This is what i have done so far:

I have downloaded the latest flasher: maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.deb & installed it.

I also downloaded the latest images: RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin & RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin

I have followed wiki on which order and all goes fine until i try to run the vanilla.

As i do not know my way around debian yet i am struggling to find the flasher directory to put the vanilla file into.

this may be a simple question to linux users but i am now stuck.

(i can reflash the phone back without vanilla but i am wanting to delete all data)

Is there a simple command to copy the vanilla file to the flasher directory?

and how do i find the flasher directory on debian5?
