where = /full/path/to/ ( the place you have downloaded it)
do what = sudo tar --numeric-owner -pzxf /full/path/to/mer-armel-n900-rootfs-v0.17testing10.tar.gz
I think.
so, if I have it on Desktop i'de do:
sudo tar --numeric-owner -pzxf /full/path/to/Desktop/mer-armel-n900-rootfs-v0.17testing10.tar.gz
sudo tar --numeric-owner -pzxf /full/path/to/Desktop/mer-armel-n900-rootfs-v0.17testing10.tar.gz
??
I don't have a N900 but if you have downloaded the file to /Desktop then it must be: sudo tar --numeric-owner -pzxf /Desktop/mer-armel-n900-rootfs-v0.17testing10.tar.gz
I'm doing it on ubuntu.
I gave up for the night, need a noobie friendly guide xD
I'll give it another shot tomorrow.
If you have downloaded it on the ubuntu box; then you have to copy it to your newly created ext3 partition on the N900. The command is run on the N900 not on the ubuntu box.

Yesterday I made a thread looking for help on dual booting mer on the N900. Although the help was top class, I still find myself confused on how to do it since I completely lack any knowledge in linux past dpkg -i.
and tell us(me) exactly how to do it with instructions like put blah/blah/blah into the terminal on your linux Pc.
Or, enter /blah/blah/ into the terminal on the N900.

It can be run on both, but the instructions he pointed to state that it gets run on his ubuntu box
Desktop would be /home/<username in ubnutu, top right corner of screen>/Desktop
