hehe nothing really horrible can happen, im not gonna go all Swordfish and wreck stuff. Its a simple "make a ****ing file" task. I had none of this in maemo5. it was just "sudo gainroot" and off i went. My issue here is that EVERYWHERE ive looked i get the information that "once you switch on developer mode, you have full root", and theres nothing I could find that suggests theres anything else you have to do. In addition the ls -al command gave "user" across the board instead of "root" several times last night, which made me think it had something to do with this.
