    Actually, right now MeeGo is extremely usable (though I haven't used it yet - but I'm ready to go and pretty much have all the stuff I need - SD card, tools on my windows pc, uboot on N900). It's just that you need to do the SD card formatting (which, if you're using ONLY MeeGo, is effortless).

    joshv06: Yeah, 2GB is probably the lowest you can go. And you'd be safer making it bigger, because some cards marked 2 GB actually have too little room (market forces are a ***** like that). If you want to run all three of those (though there's no reason you couldn't eventually put some on internal N900 storage - it takes more willingness to take risks, but should be doable), you're probably better off investing in a bigger card.

    personally those issues i think, are related to the image of meego being written the wrong way in the microSD card.
    Try to format the microSD in windows with the volume data set to
    fat32 and retry the tutorial!
    Maybe that will work!
    I hope someone can help me with this

    Well i tried to put some music into it but i couldn't but you should be able to reproduce some music and navegate the web, but calls and sms are not available yet.
    This build is for tests only, i think!

    Dunno, maybe it is possible to boot them both but this tutorial is only for meego, not nitdroid! Sorry it is only to boot both maemo and meego!

    In theory, yes, it is possible to load NitDroid this way. However, this is not automatic right now - so you have to know what you're doing, partition your SD card (or internal storage) accordingly, and put the appropriate files in the right place.

    Best place to discuss this aspect would be NITDroid forums, though, which is where the people developing NITDroid are.
