Booting linux from the N900
 

Recently I managed to boot linux from a USB flash on my laptop,
not something impressive nor is it something new.

but it got me thinking,is there a possible way to use the N900 instead of the USB flash??
and boot linux *ubuntu or fedora etc.* just by connecting the N900 to the laptop via USB cable

you can put a live cd installed in your SD card

So when you plug your n900, you can select the sd card from the boot menú and voilà!

such as downloaded stuff.

that is the expected behaviour for a live cd :P

what you want is a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent

Its a live cd, with permanent storage for /home.
