On your tutorial, it's great, at the bottom you mentioned RD mode will kill your battery. Please add this, that way people can disable the RD keyboard flashing. I've had RD on for 7 days now, no keyboard flash (backlights work as normal)
Crack open xTerm:
Code:
root
cd ..
cd etc
nano pmconfig
Change "sleep_ind 1" to "sleep_ind 0".
sleep_ind 1 is generally the last line of pmconfig.
You do not need to use nano, I just like it's simplicity
i meant all the steps u meant but instead of using a pc, doint it on ur phone. in easy debian. formatting the mmc in phone, mounting and editing files, permissions etc in phone. not on pc but on the phone. the only thing i dunno is how to flash kernel on phone
You can't flash kernel on the phone.
Just install fdisk on your n900 (It's on there already I think).
Use same instructions, just replace sfdisk /dev/sdb with /dev/mmcblk1

there is no fdisk and sfdisk cant use the same commands as fdisk rt.. best done using easy debian
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 # unmount the mmc for partitioning
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1
,512,C # 512mb partition for FAT32
,,L # the rest of the mmc is LINUX83
,, # empty
,,
Next, to prepare the new partitions for Android installation, run the following and then reboot you device; this will format the first partition in vfat, and the second in ext3:
Steve's video tutorial is great, I have followed it and installed nitdroid in a moment.
Well, maybe someone (non-native english speakers) can have some trouble with his accent.
