I could not agree more. The number of times I have tried to install scratchbox on my dual-boot win7/ubuntu AMDx2 64bit machine and failed, try as I might I can never get it installed. Or when I have managed to follow one of the many tutorials through to completion, then i am not sure what I am supposed to be looking at as pictorial diagrams are very thin on the ground too. So I have often retraced my steps to see if anything has been missed and re-reading the docs can have you bouncing around the multiple Tut's and threads again.

I want to learn how to create/port/do more (whatever) with the n900 but have never got past the first steps. This makes for one very a sad and frustrated minkin.
