The Angstrom image should be similar to the old gpe-image. The Angstrom thing is just a name change. Add on top of that the fact that there's been another year's worth of developement.
Installation is simple, you just flash the rootfs without touching the initfs and bootloader, etc.
I don't know what the current status is of Angstrom on the nokias, but these are my comments about running the gpe-image on the 770: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...?t=3129&page=2
Cheers,

Try something along the lines of:
./flasher -r <path to some file called *.rootfs.jffs2> -f -R
Si
./flasher -r <path to some file called *.rootfs.jffs2> -f -R

Those screenshots are from a Zaurus. Firefox has been running on that device for a couple of years ...

Yeah, they're 640x480 scaled to 320x240. The N800 has an 800x480 screen.

You do not have to flash your device with the actual image. You might as well download the RootFS-Tarball and install it to a partition on your mmc. You'll need the menu enabled bootloader to boot from that image, though.
You can use fanoush's flasher tool from within a linux or mac box to start the tablet with another kernel without flashing (and risking to brick) your tablet.
The Angstrom-rootfs for 770 does not have any X11 related binaries included - you will obviously end in a text terminal
The 800 rootfs does have some gpe related binaries and a X-server included but _not_ firefox or any of those applications you can see in the zaurus screenshot

I'll have to dig out my ol' 5500 and try this one.
If anyone takes the plunge and gets it running on the N800, report back your experiences.
