Im surprised with 126 posts and successful attempts nobody has posted a vid of this yet.
I guess there is not a lot to show that you haven't already seen - the UI is a little buggy and kind of quirky though it works okay - beneath that is a surprisingly pleasant Linux distribution that has a bit of everything in familiar places - far more capable out of the box than Maemo - at least for anything not needing X anyway.
I have downloaded the bz2 file and once I extracted the file i was left with a .raw.bz2 file. The problem is that I can not unpack the file to an img file ad put it on my sd card. So what should I do?
Put your N900 into mass storage mode and type
dd if=/path/to/meego-image.raw of=/path/to/n900/sdcard
So if your N900's sdcard is /dev/sdd the second half of the command should be of=/dev/sdd
Find out which is your N900's sdcard by running fdisk -l and seeing which disk capacity is the same capacity as your sdcard
I installed meego on My n900
BUT NOTHING WORK
and really bad graphics
and no sound
no network connection
very very SLOW !
90% of my taps are BUGS !
and crashes almost all the TIME !
i know this is a developer version or what so ever
but its so bad even for a developer to use

Anyone interested, meego with call support has been released but is still LIMITED TO FEATURES and is jus for playing around with the preview.
READ FULL INSTRUCTIONS AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE PROCEEDING. YOU'RE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
*although its not really risky at all.. but i've met some really dumb ppl in my last tutorial which is a shame on humanity*
2) rename the downloaded image to meego and extract it using winrar to My documents.
3) rename "meego" in my documents to meego.img
and rename the kernel file to kernel simply kernel *remove the .-n900 part too*
4) https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
download this and connect your N900 to pc via mass storage or use a cardreader *preferred* and use the win32-imagewriter to "Write" it to your microSD card
*IT IS VERY IMPORTAND TO REMEMBER TO EXTRACT IT TO MICROSD AND NOT THE BUILTIN OR YOU WILL CORRUPT YOUR eMMC*
5) http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php
download maemo flasher
install it
example you have installed the flasher in C:\flasher-3.5 and downloaded the kernel in C:\downloads
then restart ur pc, press f8 before you see the windows logo, choose "disble driver signature enforcement" then open start menu, search/run "cmd"
6) In cmd, type "C:\flasher-3.5\flasher-3.5 -l -b -k C:\downloads\kernel
then it will ask u to connect a device,
turn off the n900, wait for 1 min, then press the "U" key on the n900's keyboard and THEN connect the usb cable WHILE PRESSING THE 'U' KEY.
then you'll see the kernel being flashed. after its done, remove the cable and wait for some time for Meego to boot up.
*I CANT MAKE THIS ANY MORE NOOB FRIENDLY*
BTW the moment you switch off your cellphone, the meego kernel will go and you'll be back to maemo.
IF YOU WANT TO USE MEEGO AGAIN, FOLLOW THE 6TH STEP AGAIN
