I thought about answering, but honestly I CBA anymore after reading the whole thread.
There's a rather decent (I'd say and hope) wikipage about CSSU with proper install instructions and even a link to FAQ and all.
So far we had really few complaints about any problems on installing CSSU by strictly following those instructions.
Please note there's no other alternative installation method supported besides the one explained in detail on CSSU wiki page liked above!
HTH, I'm out again.

Come on man, really? You don't use CSSU?
In short, I don't really see a burning need to update my system right now.
Edit: I've gotta admit, though, that I do want to try out the thumb support soon.

Since the release of the stable branch CSSU-S is meant to be the LongTermSupport hotspot for all N900 users/owners.

(And the part that affects me the most -- my Pierogi app uses the landscape lock, but of course that is ineffective in CSSU...)First and foremost CSSU is about bugfixes that should but don't get published as genuine Nokia maemo update (http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#What_is_it.3F) and it's meant for all users, not only for portrait-mode-lovers (http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#Whom_is_it_for.3F

On a sidenote: in CSSU-S portrait mode is off by default, user has to explicitly enable it.
