Could anyone make a quick step-by-step video for installing the start up and panoramic desk top back ground. If nothing else it would give you a reason to play with your device ( like you really need one).

Hi! I am a rookie in this community and I'm not a linux expert.
However I am glad to give you my help.
Step By step boot video change for N900:
1- go to the repository menu of N900
2- Install ssh server on N900
3- ssh on installation will ask you for a password (choose one)
4- go to your main PC and download a free ssh client with a graphic interface (it's much easier to use for a newbie) like winscp.
5- in your N900 launch xterminal and type: sudo gainroot
6- in x terminal type then: ifconfig
7- ifconfig will show you r ip address (of course you MUST be connected to a wireless lan with your N900 )
8- open winscp and login to this ip address.
login:root password: your passord
9- go tho /usr/share/hildon-welcom/media and copy the boot video you want.
10- ho to /etc/hildon-welcom.d/ and copy default.conf to ypur PC
11-open in your PC default.conf with notepad and modify it with the name of the new video
12- save without changing name of the file
13- replace the file .conf in N900
14- disconnect and restart N900.
I just had to get my Brain Terminal-Kickstarted. Now im full back into linux. Thanks for that nice intro claesbas !
Worked like charm.

Isn't it a bit complicated? The video can be downloaded straight to the device (right?) or just transferred from pc the usual way. The n900 itself has a terminal. There's no need to ssh into it if you have it in your hand
EDIT: it occurred to me you might not be able to edit text files on the n900 without installing a text editor. Does maemo 5 have a text editor included?
