You're right, my mistake (it's been a while)

What will happen if things go right:

* Package install from extras-devel that enables the u-boot boot loader.
* Upon startup, if there is a SD card that's bootable, it will boot the SD card, with MeeGo. Otherwise, it will boot Maemo.

More customized setups are possible for the daring.

However. You might need to use a u-boot suitable SD card image and I can't promise it'll be around on exact day of 1.1, but we'll see what we can do.

Im a lil' lost here. What package shall I install for the u-boot loader, I have already written meego to a micro sd card, what next?

get a 16gb class 4 at least if you want some serious space to play with.

I was actually looking into that myself. Here are some search results from my favorite Internet retailer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ue=534%3A77855

They are all Class 10 cards, and the 4 GB one looks very cheap.

That's what you think. Maemo UX is still a better general purpose UX than the phone centric MeeGo UX. I'll stick to M5 for the forseeable future. Hopefully there'll be some respins with better UX.
