I had it downloading while I went off to an exam, and it's finally done -- 3+ hours, 4.6 KB/s at the end.
Now, I need to save off the list of my repositories, and the list of packages I have installed. Not sure what all else, so I'd welcome any tips.
Maybe by tomorrow evening I'll have taken the plunge and ditched ITOS2007. (I'm too lazy to set up dual-booting, after I've heard the WLAN stops working in ITOS2007 anyway, hence my caution.)

So, to confirm. Is Skype installable on the beta os08 and is bluetooth headset working (not just with kagu) as well?
Beta OS2008, restored backup files, skype asks for N810 hardware.
No sirius radio either for that matter. Correct credentials but web browser says otherwise. And yes I did try various suggestions from this post regarding mozilla and passwords.

Then run "passwd" as root and change your root password. It's a bit insecure having "rootme" as the password.

I registered a 4 day testaccount for a virtual server and uploaded OS2008. You can get it from here:

I will leave it up for the next 12 hours or so.

Just thought I can skip the "becomeroot" app and ssh directly.

Since openssh was added to the extras repository you can now install openssh (or openssh-server) without needing root by using Application Manager (just enable the extras repository), then you can ssh into your device as root using the rootme password - that should (and does) work. Installing becomeroot (or enabling R&D mode) just makes life easier in general... but none of this is OS2008 specific!

I just installed skype on the 42-19 firmware version on my n800. It's the version announced a few days ago. Installation '(download) went very slow, but it installed and works...
