A more elegant way would be to put everything with ITEM_ stuff in /etc/bootmenu.d/int-sd.item. After step 2 you cannot boot into Mer, you need Install bootmenu before or afterwards. Besides that it looks fine. Is our guides not clear enough about how to solve this scenario? Item 3 in http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Documentation/Bootmenu.

The reference I looked, where I put credits to, mentioned only about /etc/bootmenu.d..., I think, adding an example of the bootmenu would be a lot better. To the knows, everything is very clear; to one jump in from Mer 0.14, there is some struggle. Anyhow, if people are interested enough to try, they will have to figure it out :). I just want to thank you all for doing such a marvellous job and looking forward to future release. BTW, there is only advanced or simple in the /etc/bootmenu.d directory, how to do /etc/bootmenu.d/int-sd.item.? After item 2), you can boot into mer if you carry thru on mer installer, it automatically replaced your bootmenu with mer bootmenu.

Mer 0.15 is much more stable, have not have a crash yet

problems or bugs
1) adding app catalogue in app manager but cannot be saved, do they add just like in the maemo? for example, what is the exact form of adding extra-devel?

2) sometimes, when stay plug in, screen will stay dim even if screen were touched. Temporary solution is to unplug and plug it back, it will be good for several minutes before it turned back dim. I guess it is the battery charging bug?

3) I was able to install some apps, mainly, gnumeric, abiword, emelfm2 and kmplayer. The ones failed are always with the follow err messages,

"Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libqt4 - phonon_4.5.0-1maemo1mer2_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
"
Any suggestions?

4) How do one gets to 'see' the mmc1 and mmc2? I guess you would have to mount them? Instructions please. when attempted, err message "mount: can't find /media/mmc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"

5) I think I saw from the demo video, people has 'synaptics' installed. How to do that? when attempted, err message...the following packages replace it: tpconfig. When attempt to install tpconfig, err mess number 3) as in above.

6) Is there anyway one can replace the OSK with the matchbox one?

7) I like to try a program, but does not know the name of the package, is there any search function? In particular, openoffice, maemomapper, havaplayer, mediabox, xmms, vlc, worldtv99 to name a few.

8) on app manager, attempted to install qtablet failed, err message 3) as above.

N800 installed from simple to mmc1 from intFlash boot, running 5.2008.43-7.

TIA,
bun
