Multiboot: Maemo, NITDroid, and what else?
 
Hey guys, I have been reading about multibooting (0.2.10-1?). I used the NITDroid installer (0.2.7) to set up NITDroid and I was wondering what else is possible to boot on the N900. Meego demo? Ubuntu?

I assume you just have to create another partition on the SD card for the OS and then add an .item file to the multiboot folder.

So my questions are as follows;

What else is bootable from the N900?

Is there a thread explaining how to do it?

Isn't that more of just emulating Windows 95 under DOSBox?

Actually I think you're right.

I'm much more interested into booting Ubuntu than MeeGo, however - what else has successfully been booted on the N900? I remember hearing something about Mer?

By Debian do you mean Easy Debian?
