I didn't want to update but made an error while removing power-kernel and my n900 started to update, didn't stop it. reported some errors but I got those before from the "mime" archive. I have no idea what that means but yea, new update, isn't all that great, lost 10megs of rootfs to what idk, smoother? I guess so, was always smooth to me, kernel works but I de-installed it anyway,

Lets see what happens now....

So you update it with the power kernel? Well I guess I will try it also later if no critical issues appear.

1) Assuming I can do it OTA, will it erase the apps I have installed? Some posts seem to suggest yes, while others no. Does OTA or NSU matter? Especially since my N900 refuses to have the driver installed correctly (stupid Win7 64 bit or Ovi Suite or something..)
OTA upgrade shouldn't affect your apps, but it'd be wise to run a bcakup to SD just in case.

Thank you. That reminds me, what backup tool is recommended? I have backed up my stuff before with the (I'm assuming) Nokia provided backup tool to the SD card. I even copied that to my comp just in case.
Is that good enough or is there a better one floating out in the repos?

The built-in backup has always been good enough for me - you should be aware that it doesn't backup the apps in their entirity, merely keeps a list of what you've got installed so on restore it can download the latest versions from the repos. It does, obviously, store your calendars, messages and settings on the card if you slect those options. There is an app called backup menu which backs up the whole OS, but that could be rather counter productive in this instance...

Exactly what I needed. I had looked at backup menu and found the same thing (about restoring the whole OS, ha.) Glad to see I hadn't missed any better programs and that the stock one will do.
Thanks again for all the help. Let's hope this goes well.

Nice, 35 megs free on the rootfs - do an apt-get upgrade and a few minutes later 'no space left on device'. Sort that out and then I get a ton of unmet dependencies and package conflicts. Work through those, then just watching the output scroll by I see tons of warnings about directories that don't exist, about postinst scripts that are borked, about the rootfs being full again...

What a mess. I don't normally say anything bad about Nokia, but really, did they even test the upgrade path on anything other than a pristine PR1.2 install? - I would say not.
